The list of references at the end is excellent, and comprises more than 20 pages (the main text is only about 140). I also admire an author who cites one of his own papers only to mention that he was wrong (see discussion of dark pigments in leaves @105).
My one gripe is that the copy editor for this book (or the more senior Oxford UP editor who perhaps chose to forego one) should be summarily fired. There are numerous typos, run-on sentences and non sequiturs, and sentences missing commas where one is necessary in order to make sense. One should not have to waste time puzzling over statements like "As the sun's energy has increased [cite], the CO2 greenhouse has decreased helping [sic] to regulate the Earth's surface temperature," @ 103. (Should be "decreased, helping", with quite the opposite meaning from the original.) The net effect is like eating a very tasty lunch in the company of dozens of persistent flies. I read the hardcover edition, but from Amazon's "look inside" feature the paperback seems to preserve these irritations. But don't let that deter you from reading this very clever and intriguing book.
