Do you still have gifts to buy? Don't want to leave the comfort of your home or office? Are you dreading the very thought of stepping into a store? Want to give the gift of knowledge and laughter in just a few easy steps?
I've got you covered! All of my Super-Gargantuan Guides to books are now in one convenient location. Browse, buy, and ship - all in time for Christmas. If you're buying an ebook, you could even order the day of. It doesn't get much easier! The worst part is the danger that your own list of desperately wanted books will grow as you peruse the selections, but that's a risk you can manage, right?
Also, you can still give the gift of a good geological pun, plus a little earth science, all lovingly hand-collected and crafted by me and B, but you'll have to hurry. Today is the last day for guaranteed Christmas shipping. Visit this page for details, links, and a special offer.

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
