Book reviews by email. Slate has been doing this while, printing emails and responses about books. This one, dealing with the excellent new book, Denialism, is really very interesting. It reminds me of some of the best correspondence exchanges form the 19th Century.
I have not been a big fan of Mooney’s book, Unscientific American, because I think his focus is misplaced. But his dialog with Spector is quite fun to read. The ‘dueling’ emails, with some really great insights, allowed each other to respond in ways that were not only fun to read but extended the discourse.
