When you write a book, as the first reviews of it start coming in you just never know what they'll be like. When the person or outlet doing the review has a big audience, the stakes are higher. How have the early reviews been for our new dragon book?For background, my daughter Julie and I wrote a book about how one would try to make a real, living, fire-breathing dragon. You can read more about it here and you can order it here. We felt like Helen totally "got" what we were after in this book. We want readers to have fun with science and let their imaginations run wild. At the same time we poke fun at science hype (note that our subtitle of a sort is "A satirical look at cutting-edge science") and we have a more down to earth discussion of ethics too.We got to have fun imagining how we'd design our dragon, but we had many things to consider including just to cite one example, how many heads we'd want our dragon to have (see Russian statue of a 3-headed dragon for instance above). We included dozens of cool pictures throughout the book.
