David Wilk interviews Jess Brallier
Publishing Talks began as a series of conversations with book industry professionals and others involved in media and technology about the future of publishing, books, and culture. As we continue to experience disruption and change in all media businesses, I’ve been talking with some of the people involved in our industry about how publishing might evolve as our culture is affected by technology and the larger context of civilization and economics.
I’ve now expanded the series to include conversations that go beyond the future of publishing. I’ve talked with editors and publishers who have been innovators and leaders in independent publishing in the past and into the present, and continue to explore the ebb and flow of writing, books, and publishing in all sorts of forms and formats, as change continues to be the one constant we can count on.

Siapakah Albert Einstein?
Actually, not a bad biography of Einstein. Covers all the important life milestones, paints a well-rounded picture of Einstein without ignoring the fact that he was a crappy father and husband.
So why am I giving it only one star? There is a *glaring* science error in this book. Really egregious. right on pg 43, the author says, "Before Einstein, scientists thought that the sun was always in the same place, with the earth and other planets orbiting around it. .... Albert, however, shocked everybody by claiming that the sun, the other stars, the planets -- everything, all of the time -- are moving through space."
this must have especially shocked Thomas Wright, who suggested that the sun, and all the stars in the Milky Way are rotating around the center of the universe in *1750*!
I'm pretty sure the author was trying to simplify Einsten's development of the cosmological constant. But this explanation? Nonsense and demonstrably *wrong*.
