Also, what's with half of the books in the science section being about God? "How Science deals with God" and a dozen other books with similar titles mixed in all over the science section. As a scientist and a "papist" (to steal Dr. Isis' term for it), I think about such things from time to time. But they don't have books in the religion section about science, so why is the science section half populated by pseudo religious books? Give them their own section at least, so I can find science when that's what I'm looking for. What science books weren't dealing with the science-god controversies seemed to have to do with a very limited selection of other topics, including sex, our brains, and Einstein. I'm sure he'd be glad to know he made the hit list with humanity's favorite preoccupation. There's a whole world out there book-store owners... c'mon now.
And, get rid of the small stuffed animals that make obnoxious sounds each of the fifty million times bored children squeeze them. Or bad things are gonna happen.
(I wasn't supposed to post again, but I'm irritated, and avoiding packing. ick)

I agree with you that it's really obnoxious when the science section is littered with weird new-age books that sounds vaguely sciencey. C'mon bookstores! Get it together.
Jon worked at a chain bookstore for a while and he found it very satisfying to organize the entire politics section. (Un?)fortunately, he got a better job before he could start on the 'science' section.
I think probably I would have to reorganize the entire store piece by piece before I could be happy working there for any length of time... So I agree with Jon on that part!
It kinda left me wondering if the employees actually ever READ any of the books they spend their time selling...
