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.
