Cliff is a prolific writer and his books will make you wonder:
Immortality, Surfing Through Hyperspace, Archimides to Hawking, The
Math Book, Spider Legs (with Piers Anthony, author of the punny
Xanth series and another of my favorite authors), and Drugs, Sex,
Einstein and Elves. |

David was one of my dad's favorite authors and I agree: Andy
Carpenter is the best snarky lawyer in books. |
