It Ain't Necessarily So: The Dream of the Human Genome and Other Illusions big fan of Lewontin's other books and lectures
I've always felt guilty that I haven't read anything by Gould :)

Steven’s suggestions for January (which all came too late to be included) and this will be closing tomorrow around noon GMT+1/UTC+1.
Isn't it silly to let one person nominate more than one book?
Mod
Everyone can suggest more than one book. More than one book pr. person has been allowed since November because there were four nominations the month before and two were from the same person. Though I'll say there probably should be a limit pr. person. Two or three?
I understand that has been the case, but what had happened is one person posting ten suggestions which is a bit daft!
Mod
I would prefer if you explained the problems rather than threw words like silly and daft around. In this case as I see it we'd like to avoid one persons suggestions dominating the poll, which has been the case somewhat the last months (while that doesn't mean those books have been chosen). I've carried three of Steven's suggestions, and will from next month only allow three suggestions pr. person.
It doesn't warrant further explanation as you were apparently smart enough to work out and I can only assume you being deliberately obtuse.

It is as a comment Jan 16, 2014 01:33AM. (Not sure if links on words function while mobile, but if not that is a big oversight from Goodreads)

Oh great! I can't wait to read and discuss this one :)I hope I will manage to read it in time as this one hasn't been translated to Czech though.
