An wry takedown on peer review. I've found readers' reports on book manuscripts to be mostly helpful. That's not been the case with journal articles. I published my first genuine peer reviewed article in 1979 (Isis) and my next in 2020 (Earth's Future).

It’s less than a week until the official pub date of Wonder Foods, and I wanted to say something about the title...

I’m pretty stoked about it because I think it captures pretty well the main stakes of the book. ‘Wonder foods’ are, of course, foods that promise to be more than ‘mere foods’ – to nourish better, more efficiently, more naturally, than other foods. They are, so to speak, ‘foods with benefits’ (which was at one point the working title of the book but was not to be…).

I recently wrote a book = Making Art Work = shown here in its native habitat.

It's a history of how artists & engineers explored new technologies and created visually and sonically compelling multimedia works.

Maybe the topic is of interest to you...
