Oh my goodness, Jaime Herndon got right to the heart of what Rosanna Xia is trying to do in #CaliforniaAgainsttheSea "It’s a beautifully written, highly relevant book about not just our relationship with and how we think about the natural world, but also how we relate to each other."

THANK YOU for being such a good reader, dear reviewer!

“The knowledge content of scientific theories has been interpreted as restricted to the ability to give predictions. In this way, in my opinion, we lose sight of science’s ability to subvert and widen our vision of the world.”

- Carlo Rovelli, “Anaximander and the birth of science”.

Hi UK friends. Bloomsbury has kicked off its big annual sale, and my book Sticky is one of many awesomely nerdy books on offer - it is now 30% off. If you're looking for the perfect gift for a science-fan in your life, it could be a good starting point 😊 #science #christmasgift #sciencebooks https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/sticky-9781472950833/

Can any point me to books or resources about the use of physical models in scientific discovery? (I'm thinking of like how Watson and Crick played around with metal plates to make a double helix, etc)
