I'm each one of us has had "his" Christensen, Belzile and Olivo in his lab. What most researchers don't have is a "David" lending a hand and then putting down in nice words experiences that should be not forgotten (yes, that's because we mostly forget about the plots and data that come out of such research quite quickly).
Thanks for the very nice review. I appreciate it very much.
I'm still having trouble selling this book (the price has
been lowered to $0.99, on sale for $0.49 and I can still count
the number of friends and family I have on one hand. :-(
So, here is what I am going to do. I'm going to assume I am
the only one on the planet who owns an e-reader (too depressing
to assume I'm the only one on the planet who likes to read), and
I am going to GIVE AWAY this damn book to anyone willing to read
it. That's right. You heard me. I can't possible become a writer
until someone reads something I've written, so I'm willing to give
this away. (I'd offer to pay you to read it, but, you know, that's
not going to happen in my current marriage.)
So, here is your chance. You can download this book, for free,
in PDF format here:
http://www.idlcoyote.com/pdf/standing_on_the_ocean.pdf
You can also purchase the book for your iPhone, iPad, Nook, Sony or
Kindle from my web page in the E-Books section of my store for less
than half a buck:
http://www.idlcoyote.com/store
Or, you can get it from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008198GQW
Or, you can get it from Barnes & Noble:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/standing-on-the-ocean-david- fanning/1110737355
My favorite way of reading books is to use the Kindle App on my iPhone,
which gives me access to all my Kindle books, except that all the
pictures are in color. Much handier to carry my phone than my Kindle.
Happy Reading!
Cheers,
David
P.S. Did I mention that Coyote's retirement pension (basically a beer fund)
is funded *entirely* with book proceeds?
