Dear Curious List Members,
The book Nick refers to is the wonderful Catastrophe Theory and Its
Applications, by Tim Poston and Ian Stewart, 510 pages in the
paperback edition from Dover Publications; New Ed edition, October 3,
1996, available from amazon.com for $16.75 and from amazon.co.uk for
�10.94 and highly suitable as a holiday gift for the nerdiest of your
friends. Not for the faint of heart, however.

The reference is strictly Newton and Cox (2006).
I am always happy to regard myself as standing on
Newton's shoulders, although in this case Joe might wish I were
a little lighter.
(Reminds me of a book on catastrophe theory
dedicated by the two authors to Christopher Zeeman,
"at whose feet we sit and on whose shoulders we stand". The
usual quip was that it needed two topologists to
think up such a contorted position.)
