“Here’s richness!” as Wackford Squeers said. Speaking of Science is
a collection of quotable words about every scientific area, courtesy of the
Fripp family, Jon, Michael and Deborah. You can’t miss the point of any of these
epigrammatic gems, from Archimedes through to Carl Zwanzig, as the kindly Fripps
explain any they think might cause brow-knitting. It’s irresistible and well
organised. Sure-fire shafts for all occasions. Published by LLH Technology,
$14.95, ISBN 1878707515.
