(The also-rans that year included Tom Wolfe, Verlyn Klinkenborg, and Oliver Sacks.) Hayes's work in this genre has also appeared in such anthologies as \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Magazine Writing, The Best American Science and Nature Writing, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Norton Reader\u003c\/i\u003e. Here he offers us a selection of his most memorable and accessible pieces--including Clock of Ages--embellishing them with an overall, scene-setting preface, reconfigured illustrations, and a refreshingly self-critical Afterthoughts section appended to each essay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Hayes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0809052172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780809052172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.46w x 0.77d","brand":"Brian Hayes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995610644735,"sku":"9780809052172","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ef8d4e3-30db-400c-8f58-5d09e4957d6a.jpg?v=1683336787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/group-theory-in-the-bedroom-brian-hayes-9780809052172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
