| Steven Wolfram, who became famous (and wealthy) for developing the
Mathematica computuer language, dropped out of mainstream science early
in his career.
His book describes a new way of looking at and explaining the complexities
found in nature. |

In this book he uses that talent to examine the complex relationships
between envirnomentalism and economics. |
Steve Olson explains the genetics behind the concept of "race." It's
becoming clear (as this book states) that "race" is little more than
a sociological construct with little or no basis in genetics. |
