Editorial Reviews

Review
Harris is a treasure. -- American Scientist

Harris's brand of humor appeals to people of all professions and all walks of life. -- American Humor

The humor in science that is most widely laughed at comes from nonscientists, like the cartoonist, Sidney Harris. -- New York Times Book Review

Product Description
Sidney Harris, acclaimed Dean of Scientific Humor, presents his most recent collection of cartoons. No scientific or technical topic is safe from the scope of his humor. Harris's cartoons have appeared in American Scientist, Playboy, The New Yorker, Discover, and Science, among many other popular magazines.

Previous collections include Einstein Simplified, "You Want Proof? I'll Give You Proof!", and From Personal Ads to Cloning Labs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Science is too important to take seriously., June 20, 2004
By wiredweird "wiredweird" (Earth, or somewhere nearby) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Maybe that's why Springer-Verlag published these cartoons. Springer (parent company of Copernicus) is generally known for highly technical books, and clearly felt that Harris' comics are a valued contribution.

Science is just another human endeavor, so it's full of humans. That means it's basically irrational at the bottom, just like the people that work in science. It looks as if Harris has devoted his life to reminding us that clear, consistent results come from silly, self-contradictory people. His cartoons tease scientists, but always with affection. That's why so many people in the sciences like his work, and even make it their own.

If you already know Harris' work, you're sure to like this. If you're not already a Harris fan, this book will fix that for you.
