5.0 out of 5 stars Thought-provoking, insightful, and hilarious essays, May 7, 2008
By Mark Cartwright (Austin Texas USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I checked out this book at the library, and found some of the essays so poignant or funny that I had to tell my classmates about them. In particular, "Adventures of a Cross-Disciplinarian", "Age of the Earth", "How to Write a Paper", and "How to Give a Seminar" (approximate title) stood out for me.

I would recommend having a used copy or borrowing this book from the library.
