On a related note, we also have a copy of Neil DeGrasse-Tyson's The Pluto Files, the basis for his Nova episode all about the ups and downs of Pluto's planetary status and the controversy caused by the dwarf planet downgrading. Great beach reading (um, assuming you like kind of nerdy beach reading).

“outright ban books from libraries nationwide” – do you really mean this or are you just caught up in the hoopla?
