Those seriously interested in the evolution of life on this planet and in
this solar system, and by extension, other solar systems, should immediately
rush out and buy a copy of The Anomalist 5 and devour an article by Mike
Davis entitled "Cosmic Dancers on History's Stage? The Permanent Revolution
in the Earth Sciences."

I say that not only because I'm the Literary Whore of San Antonio (Remember
the Alamo!), which I yam, but to emphasize the fact that if we hadn't run
across this gem of a masterpiece and reprinted it in this country, you would
never have been aware of it.

But diligence doesn't come free. However, I'll wave postage and handling
fees for anyone ordering from this list and citing same. Make out your check
or money order to Dennis Stacy, Box 12434, San Antonio, Texas, 78212, for
$9.95 and I'll whip one out.

I'll do even better than that. If you aren't completely satisfied, return
your copy of The Anomalist and I'll refund your money, no questions asked.
