Tell us about your masterpieces

I always like reading a book or article by someone I know – it makes it more of a personal experience – so it would be great if Science Writers members could give us all a heads up when something new comes along.
Please don’t be shy about posting info on your new books or major articles that the rest of us might like to take a look at. It’s not advertising, it’s informing an interested community.
If you do want to inform the (Science Writers) world, please do so as a separate topic, rather than a reply to this one – could we keep replies to this to comments on the idea, please.

False modesty being a vastly overrated virtue, I’d like to moot my novel By The Sea, which is currently being serialized over on LabLit – most of it is now online, and I am currently writing the final chapters. Sure, it’s a novel, but no writer can call themselves such, in my view, unless they have tried some fiction, and anyway, there is some cocktail-party science in it. Also a great deal of sex, violence, and violent sex, which is more than you’d usually get in a conventional science article, until, that is, Robert Winston and Richard Dawkins collaborate on a TV Series about sexual selection (remember, you heard it here first). I tend to write it very early in the morning on the train to work. The extremeties of the prose set me up nicely for a day spent in the Nature fold.

Henry – thanks for overcoming that natural modesty!
Let’s hear about other books and articles, but please use a separate topic for each, so we don’t end up with a long string of unconnected postings.
