Sounds cool, though books like that never have enough math in them for me. 
C-Span2 is will have the author of this book on tonight, 8:15 EST, since they do non-fiction books on the weekends. And they'll probably re-run it sometime as well. Yes, I'm watching C-Span. I'm sewing, trying to get a Harry Potter costume done for CostumeCon.
