BOOKS

ISAK members are invited to submit reviews of books (<75 words) they have recently read. These titles will also be recorded in the Rosscraft CompBib.

Bonner, JT (2007) Why Size Matters: From Bacteria to Blue Whales Princeton University Press, Princeton. 161 pp

John Tyler Bonner frames the book around five ways in which size rules. Strength, shape, complexity or division of labor, rates of processes such as longevity and speed, and abundance of organisms all vary with size, and they determine just about everything else, including most of Amazing Numbers' biological values. ( Bonner JT (2006) Amazing Numbers in Biology
Rainer Flindt. 2006. Springer-Verlag, Berlin. 295 pp.). (Comment provided by Bill Ross,          rosscraft@shaw.ca)

Winchester S (2003) The Meaning of Everything.  The story of the Oxford English Dictionary. Oxford University Press, Oxford, New York (paperback edition 2004).

If words are the primary and indispensable elements of thought, the Oxford English Dictionary is the greatest monument to a living language. It is possible with Babylon OED dictionary to have this, derivations translations into 75 languages and the power of the internet called up by a right click on any word. www.babylon.com/.
