[Buddha-l] David Lopez's book on Science and Buddhism

[Curt Steinmetz]

The blurb itself doesn't look too bad:
http://www.press.uchicago.edu/presssite/metadata.epl?mode=synopsis&bookkey=332602

And he also has "Six Episodes in Buddhism and Science" here (this looks 
a bit more squirrelly, in my opinion - and not in a good way):
