Hi Steve, and thanks for this, At present, no, I don’t have any planned promotionals in SF, and I am not sure I can even make it through town this Autumn. For me as for you, CW is the only bookstore I could think of as a natural venue for this. (I did enjoy, though didn’t remark on, the pleasant Freudian/finger slip in someone’s email (Lee’s?) a day or two ago referring to it as Collective Works (or maybe I was just not in the know on a standard joke)).
I’ll hope that material is enjoyable or somehow useful. It was a hard slog for the last two years to try to get a better background in the geochemical literature that bears on this question, and my understanding of that is still _much_ shakier than for some of the metabolism literature. To trained geochemists' eyes this will glare immediately. But the great thing I am learning is that value isn’t “contained” in a book; it is created in its own form by each reader. So the limitations of the authors aren’t as terminal as one would at first suppose.
