Thinking Out Loud
From ball lightning to schizophrenic cognition,
black holes to the prediction of heart attacks, body transplants
to interstellar communication, Speculations in Science and Technology
has essayed it all. Now this unique international journal has landed
at Penn State. Also: "Fractals and
The Cat in the Hat"
by Ahklesh Lakhtakia, editor of Speculations.
Imprint of a Genetic Disorder
Infants who "fail to thrive," whose limbs
are "floppy," and who suddenly develop inatiable appetites
may suffer from Prader-Will Syndrome. The work of Maria Mascari
and others means that 95 percent of the disorder's sufferers can
now be pinpointed by genetic testing. For understanding inheritance,
the ramifications could be much larger.
Hog-in-Heaven Wild
Photojournalist Jock Lauterer neatly proves his
dictum that "the most humble events" can produce a journalistic
"stunner" with his new book, Hogwild: a chronicle
of four years building a cabin (named "Tom") on a commune
(or "commune-ity") in North Carolina.
