SEM: Search Engine Misdirection

Once in a while I notice traffic from a link from an old incarnation of www.meadabawdy.com (actually another site I managed; there was trouble with some dns settings) I suspect that there are some cached references in the search engines. If you arrived here looking for something more technical or scientific, apologies for the misdirection. And check back once in a while, I may hit those notes here once in a while.

The latest hit was from an old biographical blurb on Pierre Duhem, a French theoretical physicist from the turn of the last century (1861–1916: Was that the turn of the 19th or 20th century?) I'd like to write up something more substantial on him sometime, but could likely do no better than a distillation of Fr. Stanley L. Jaki's (pronounced "Yah-key") Uneasy Genius, which is out of print but available used (it's pricey) through Amazon. You might check Barnes & Noble, Alibris or other sites, or better still, a good local used book store.
