You can now preorder Quantum Aspects of Life , which is published this Autumn. This book presents the hotly debated question of whether quantum mechanics plays a non-trivial role in biology.

I am currently working on my new book The House of Wisdom and the Legacy of Arabic Science to be published by Penguin Press in early 2010.
