Ecology and Biodiversity Picoeukaryotes 29 Jul 2008 Electron cryotomographic reconstruction of a C. merolae cell. n = nucleus; c = chloroplast; p = peroxisome; er = endoplasmic reticulum. Source Elio Schaechter has a typically informative and informed post on the smallest eukaryotes, a kind of algae called picoeukaryotes. These guys make up half the biomass of all… Read More
Book Favourite Terry Pratchett Discworld novels 17 Jun 2010 This popped up on alt.fan.pratchett (yeah, I know, I’m Avoiding Work), so of course I had to. Feel free to disagree, although anyone who dislike Pratchett and the Holy Discworld Scriptures is a lost cause and should not be replied to. Under the fold: Read More

I never did Italian, so I don’t know the right things. They told me June. Bugger. I don’t have a physical copy yet.
Well done, John. Don’t forget to have Cal send a review copy to your favorite weekly science journal beginning with N.
Well, it’s a play on the Naturphilosophen view that one can “see” a species rather than define it, you see…

congratulations! (and “Quel excitement !”, excitement being masculine — but you might prefer “Quelle excitation !”)
Wow. That’s brilliant. Congratulations. I bet it feels good to touch. As soon as Morgs saw me open up the University of California Press website he started conjuring ways to get us a US mailing address ASAP! 🙂
Goes on my wishlist…unless there’s a paperback version in the offing! Has Katsuhiro Otomo picked up the rights yet? — Martin
Not available anywhere yet, John, until September. I am investigating the cost – a sister volume is only $39.95US and it has colo[u]r, so given that I gave up my royalties on the first run, I expected it to be lower in price. I don’t know what the paperback will cost, but I hope it will be in the US$20-30 range.

So, when I buy my (suitably) expensive copy, how do I get it autographed? Wanna signed copy, too!! (A word to the wise, though, be very wary of anything a lawyer wants you to sign.)
Many congratulations, John. Philosophers usually baffle me (a humble historian) with their terminology, but this is one I must try. Does the price look high? Judging by some academic books I have seen lately, US$50 or so looks almost reasonable, but it depends on the yoyoing A $ rate. Not available in Australia yet?
Congratulations! I’m glad that University of California Press has opened their author list to gorillas … next, the bonobos will be publishing literary criticism and field studies.

In that book I don’t delve much into bacterial species – that was something fairly recent. But I do have a published paper on the topic (unfortunately, they mixed up the figures – you can work out which is which easily).
As long as they only leave publishing open to the great apes, I don’t think we have to worry about cdesignists getting in… I do look forward to reading it when it becomes available. Just out of curiosity, do you delve into bacterial and viral “species” at all or do you stick with eukaryotes?
