A valuable approach. We need a lot more of this kind of thing, interestingly written. Although, if you ask me, many of these stories make compulsive reading even without lurid packaging. Unfortunately many lay people's eyes glaze over when they are asked to consider the hard, accurate work that must go into all good science. It's a struggle to persuade the casual reader or viewer that enlightenment grows out of the details.
