Just found out Mr P has been branching out into other areas, has the man no bounds and unlimited talent.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest! Is there no end to his talents?

And for anyone who, like me, is sad enough to wander what Crystallography is - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallography

I like a lot of his other books. "Good Omens" with Neil Gaimen as Co-author was good. It takes place on Earth, but it's got a nice story to it and a lot of humour.

I would appreciate it if someone could elucidate on what book is involved. All I got when I went to the site was "This book is no longer available" and was intrigued by the Wiki site.

If I remember correctly it was a book by someone who happened to be named "Terry Pratchett" but wasn't (we think) out Terry.

I think I will have to leaf that alone.

It was a book about crystallography, just to be clear.

(That wasn't a very good pun was it? )

It was cute, Dotsie ^-^

Can I have more detail on what the book was on? I'm presuming it's non-fiction, but what does it cover?

I don't remember the exact title, but he has also written a paper on the study of bacterial enzymes using X-ray crystallography (it's a technique whereby you can "see" the shape of the protein, & get a better idea of how it works)

 

[chris.ph]

not for me then dotsie i prefer a book with a plot

 

[Dotsie]

It's a real page-turner!

 

[Discworld_Lord]

I find that sort of thing pretty interesting. I bet he'd be able to explain it well.
