Coming, Terms

Coming to Terms

Elegant, useful, and witty explanations of 160 words and terms shrouded in the professional mystery that makes people distrust whoever utters them.  This lexicon, and a brilliant introductory essay in which Wayne Biddle takes on the perpetrators of scientific newspeak, make

a primer of the new science, and a trenchant commentary on language, culture, and our perception and manipulation of the world around us. 

Illustrated throughout with David Suter's ingenious drawings.

Parts of this book appeared in a different form in Harper's magazine.
