Book Reviews of The Geek Atlas: 128 Places Where Science and Technology Come Alive

Book Review: 100 stars: the Geek Atlas
Summary: 4 Stars

Received a review copy of this fascinating book from O'Reilly. Top notch stuff.

One might argue for the inclusion or exclusion of certain sites: for example, is it really fair to leave out the Lego Museum in Copenhagen?

I also wish the title had included a nod to binary ... why not 100000 Places instead of 128?

Well worth a place on the shelf for anyone interested in science, mathematics, history, or travel.
