Bumping this up so as to give Chris some Tempe loving ...
Changing Hands is a legendary bookstore here in Tempe, and tomorrow it will host Chris Mooney at 7pm for a talk on his wonderful book The Republican War on Science which is now available (updated!) in paperback. Chris' book is an eye-opening account of how the GOP has taken the politicization of science to a whole new level and is required reading for anyone (scientist or not) who cares about science in 21st Century America. Bring your copy as Chris will be signing.
Oh, and I'll be there - this might be your chance to meet two ScienceBloggers in the one evening!
Place: Changing Hands Bookstore, Tempe, AZ [map]
