A bryologist enters an ancient piece of British woodland to
research a rare strain of moss, only to discover an even more
exotic specimen; a geologist explains the failures of the feminist
movement to her teenage niece in terms of tectonic subduction; two
Old Testament newlyweds scheme to make the most of their tightly
negotiated dowry by applying 21st-century genetic engineering
techniques--each story in this collection of short fiction fuses
together specific pieces of scientific research with an ancient
myth or folkloric archetype. In these stories, readers will
encounter witches that can outwit botanists, religious soothsayers
that read evolutionary biology in feverish dreams, and scientists
who fall in love with the birds that they study. A specially
written afterword penned by a scientist follows each story,
expanding upon the theory within the story, be it quantum
mechanics, planetary physics, game theory, or nanotechnology.
