UPDATE – 2013-05-09: My first proper book – Deceived Wisdom – was launched in November 2012 and reached #1 in various top 100 lists on Amazon, including the #1 science slot above Brian Cox and my old buddy Sir David Attenborough (well, I met him a couple of times years ago). It was overall #1 of all Amazon UK books for a short period of time too, so I can probably get away with calling it a bestseller, can I? Well, according to my publisher it has sold well over 10,000 copies in hardback print edition, kindle, ebook and Audible versions.

Deceived Wisdom: Why what you thought was right is wrong” is also available DRM free at a special discount price for Sciencebase readers – ePub, PDF, mobi.
