Hi,

I finished Michael Chricton’s The Andromeda Strain not too long ago. Very good book. I’m glad it got him off to a great sci fi start. What was his early book Rising Sun about???? I’m a pretty big Chricton fan. I’ve also read Sphere, Jurassic Park, and The Lost world.

I’m reading……

‘Rx… The Life Atom’
by Calvin Samuel Page
(I think he only wrote 4 books, and there isn’t
any information about him on the internet)

Published around the turn of the century…….
……..the previous century!!!

Well, let’s see.

It’s a physics/science book. (from around 1900)

Rx is an atom discovered by the author.

I’ve never heard of Rx before. It’s basically heat.

That really cleared that up!!! icon_eek.gif icon_eek.gif icon_eek.gif

Not actually heat. My explanation was bad, but it has to do with heat.

He says Rx is an atomic element, like helium, hydrogen, etc.

The books are a complete departure from everything
that we’ve learned.

I like to find answers in older books because they haven’t
been altered like modern books have.

For example, when I was in elementary school way back in 19– I was taught that
the Earth had a solid core. Then a decade later it had a molten core.

Five years ago they said it has an iron core that revolves in an opposite
direction than the surface of the planet.

Much reading to do!!! icon_rolleyes.gif
