Michael Crichton's book State of Fear

After reading State of Fear, I decided to read the books Michael Crichton said he read while researching this book.
He has a list of the books and publications he read, in the back of this book.

Also I heard an interview with Dr. Orrin Pilkey, of Duke University, on Coast To Coast AM With George Noory. He talked about mathematical models and their use for predictions.

I decided to be more cautious about believing in solutions based on mathematical models, when the models may be less that accurate.

A Post from Jim Regarding Our Purpose

Our purpose is to explore science fiction and its place in illuminating human existence. We believe that in order to do this we must study real science -- with an open but skeptical mind.

We would be pleased if you would join us on our voyage...

Live long and prosper,

Jim
