How to Contribute to ScienceBookGuide.com

Reviewing and cataloging every good popular science book ever written may be a little bit ambitious for a couple of people working part-time. Help us! Here are some ways to contribute:
  • Send us your suggestions by email to editor@sciencebookguide.com. We're interested in suggestions for:
    • Titles of books to review, especially those that fill obvious gaps.
    • Short quotes from popular science books for our 'Quote of the Instant' feature on the front page. The quotes need not be from books that are currently in the Guide. We like quotes that are eloquent, memorable, or amusing.
    • Good examples of phenomena for our Time Scales and Size Scales pages. One particular need is clear and vivid examples of things that happen very quickly.

  • Post your comments to the ScienceBookGuide Forum. Any topic directly related to science, scientists, science education, or the books in the guide is welcome. (Off-topic or abusive postings will be ruthlessly deleted, and may result in the Forum becoming moderated.)

  • Become a reviewer for the ScienceBookGuide. We only want reviewers who are motivated by a true passion for the task, so here are some discouraging things you should know:
    • There is no monetary reward.
    • In addition to writing a review for each book, you must fill out an involved web-based questionnaire about the book. (This enables us to slot the book into our various classification schemes.)
    • Even when you've done that, the review will not appear on the site until we are satisfied with it, which conceivably might be never.
    Still interested? Great! Send us email at editor@sciencebookguide.com, and we'll set you up with a reviewer's account.
