- All recommendations will be featured in a subsequent poll. Should have results for 17th or so.
- Feel free to pitch, especially in the comments at the poll.

Deadly Feasts: Tracking the Secrets of a Terrifying New Plague

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
by Jared Diamond

The Triple Helix: Gene, Organism, and Environment

Gold Rush in the Jungle Gold Rush in the Jungle: The Race to Discover and Defend the Rarest Animals of Vietnam's "Lost World"

Certainly wouldn't mind having some more suggestions! I might keep the nominations open somewhat longer than the 10th.

As the poll went ahead just about on schedule, (beginning the 12th and ending the 18th) and selected Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, I suggest these suggestions be carried to nominations for February, which will be up momentarily.

I didn't see the poll at all, can it be posted in the nominations thread as it doesn't appear in group feed please?

So am I. Thanks yourself for being active, pretty much what keeps the administrative stuff worth doing.

I'll make sure that happens from now on. I will also consider sending out a broadcast message when the poll goes live.

Sweet!
