THE SCIENCE SHELF


An archive of book reviews, columns, and comments by Fred Bortz

Welcome to my archive of book reviews and columns about science books. If you are like me, you love science and you love books. It's that simple!

The website is simple, too: no snazzy frames, just straightforward information about the books you love to read.

This page is aimed at allowing you to do a keyword search on my websites alone. It works fairly well now, and will continue to get better as the Google spiders catch up with a change in my web page addresses (URLs) that took place in late 2003. Of course, Google spiders are always going to be a bit behind the latest changes. For the newest reviews, you might wish to use the reviews by date, reviews by title, or reviews by author pages.

To use Google to search both my sites, "The Science Shelf" (an archive of my published book reviews in magazines or major metropolitan newspapers) and "Dr. Fred's Place" (for children's science), be sure to click the "Search Both Bortz Sites" button before entering your search.

Scientifically yours,
