One of my personal favorite authors died today, Michael Crichton.
Michael Crichton died at the age of 66 fighting cancer.
I remember when I read Jurrasic Park for the first time, and was really impressed with the different points of view from all the different characters. I really enjoyed the book. Then he wrote State of Fear, and I was hooked. I loved how he was able to systematically call into question the "common" knowledge of Global Warming into fiction, and then back it up with an intense bibliography, showing the facts behind the matter.
If you haven't read it yet, pick up State Of Fear, a really good book (though the ending was kind of a let down):
 
In addition to his fiction, he wrote a few good essays on Global Warming and many other things. Check them out at http://www.michaelcrichton.net/essays.html. They're a really good take on why Conservatives are at least leery of Global Warming.
