		Jack Cohen is the world's foremost expert on exactly what the physiology and behaviour of aliens would hypothetically be like.
		Cohen: I was just talking to someone about this - an author was asking me whether a group of aliens behaved in a realistic way and I was moved to send a long email about the problems of intelligence and extelligence.
		Cohen: I don't know (brief interlude where Jack replaces water in car radiator, discussing the various possibilities of a huge cloud of boiling steam to emerge and kill him).

	RMRS Public Affairs: Burning Man: Dr. Jack Cohen And The Physics Of Fire
		Cohen and his colleagues placed sections of simulated wooden wall at distances of 10, 20 and 30 meters from the study plot to be ignited.
		As a scientist, Cohen says, the politics of fire are immaterial to him, insofar as he only wants to see the problem of residential fires caused by wildland fire activity solved through increased public awareness.
		What primarily concerns Cohen is that politics not hinder his-or anyone else's-ability to solve what he perceives as the main problem at hand, which is houses being destroyed in wildland fires.

		That 'or so' shows that Jack's punctuality and awareness of time then were no better than they have ever been, before or since, and adds credibility to my belief that this was the occasion of First Contact --- the alternative being that I failed to record that event in the diary, which I find inconceivable.
		Jack and I added what in effect were Very Big Footnotes on the science behind all the wizardly shenanigans.
		Moreover, it was Jack who persuaded his SF agent Ashley Grayson to look at an outline and some sample chapters, and before we knew what had happened, Ashley sold the book to Time Warner.

	Jack Cohen
		Rats, cats, dogs (and possibly some parrots – see Pepperburg 2000), and especially the social primates exhibit this different kind of learning, honed by generations of dependence on it – they seem to like it, to revel in it.
		In general, puberty rituals select the obedient, the child who is more frightened of the imagined future than of the actual pain he (usually a “he”) is about to suffer.
		The loss of vegetative security which love engenders, and the joy it brings as we extend it further and further, are the strongest motivators of all of us people.

		Jack Cohen is an ‘alien consultant’ to many writers, advising what an alien could and couldn’t look like.
		Cohen and Stewart carefully explain that earth is the only place where humans, dolphins and bees could evolve, true, but what about other forms of life, that could survive in conditions completely hostile to us?

	Review Of Jack & Jimmy Cohen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		That intimacy came to the Newtown Meeting House on Saturday night, brought by the masterful Galway flute player Jack Coen, a resident of the Bronx since 1949, and his guitarist son, Jimmy.
		The judge asked him why he'd thought the old dog would soon be gone, and the farmer replied "Well, he's so weak he has to set his back up against the wall to bark." That, he said, was the state of his old flute.
		Jack and his wife were kind enough to come out from the Bronx on their wedding anniversary, and all of their children and grandchildren who could attend made the trip to Newtown as well.

	Alwyn Scott's Review of "Figments of Reality by Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen"
		Happily, mathematician Ian Stewart and biologist Jack Cohen live up to the claims of their promoters.
		The course of evolution, Stewart and Cohen suggest, is of the second sort, where the rules of the game change over time and the aim is to stay in play.
		One (Stewart) is a respected mathematician with a deep knowledge of current physical science, and the other (Cohen) is a biologist with wide appreciation for the varieties of living creatures.

		Without giving anything away, Cohen and Stewart manage to convey their alienness in a variety of ways.
		One can only wonder why Stewart and Cohen felt it necessary to cram some much in with such a large page count in their first SF outing.

	SS > NF reviews > Jack Cohen
		Like most Stewart and Cohen journeys, there is a lot packed into a small space, not always unpacked (or often, unpackable only if you've read previous travels), yet all fascinating nevertheless.
		For many years now Jack Cohen has been giving a lecture on "The Possibility of Life on Other Planets", or POLOOP for short.
		If you've ever been to one of Jack's talks, this has a bit of their hop-scotch flavour: an interesting factoid here, a confusing allusion there, certainly all woven together to be very entertaining, and here with rather more depth and detail (but fewer cartoons!).

	3 Reductionist Nightmares, Game Trees and Ant Country
		We like to believe that the results of an experiment, or the aggregate of a set of processes, are at the same level of complexity as we started with (Cohen and Stewart 1991a, Cohen and Stewart 1991b).
		Stewart and I have reformed the emergence/conservation-of-complexity problem as "Ant Country", the unresolvable complexity which is located between top-down and bottom-up explanations in nearly all cases (Stewart and Cohen 1994, Stewart and Cohen 1997).
		Stewart and I have allegiance to the opposite view, which is that explanations diverge (Cohen and Stewart 1994, Stewart and Cohen 1994, Stewart and Cohen 1997); real reductionist explanations of each property of the cell must require many chemical experts, then many physicists to explain each chemical property.

		On those principles, Cohen and Stewart (respectively, a reproductive biologist and a professor of mathematics at Warwick University in England) lay a basis for what they call xenoscience--knowledge of the strange.
		Cohen and Stewart have written a thoughtful book on the subject, perhaps one of the best out there.
		Yet, Cohen and Stewart have devoted almost an entire chapter to debunking creationists, including a childish comment about how God is silly because of how he designed our throats.

		Jack Cohen and Ian Stewart are interesting thinkers and writers in the guise of JackandIan, and What Does A Martian Look Like?
		In a way, Stewart and Cohen should be praised for using so many examples from science fiction, but, at the same time, they give very short shrift to the notion that some SF writers might be using aliens for literary/metaphoric purposes, rather than just as high-school-biology-class exercises in designing lifeforms.

		The schemes are based on a discredited argument, repeatedly found frivolous by many courts, called the “U.S. Sources” or “Section 861 argument.” The “argument,” named after the provision of the federal tax code it misinterprets, posits that U.S. citizens are not required to pay taxes on income they receive from sources within the United States.
		Pursuant to the court’s order, Cohen is barred from selling the Section 861 argument and any other abusive tax schemes.
		The order also requires Cohen send a copy of the court’s order to his customers and requires him to give the Justice Department a list of his customers.

	Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart, Jack Cohen: The Science of Discworld II: The Globe
		Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen have returned to the Discworld for a second attempt to explain the Roundworld on which we live.
		Stewart and Cohen have focused their attention on the less physical sciences in this book, providing a basic education into many of the adaptations, both sociological and biological, which separate Homo sapiens (or Pan narrans as they call us) from chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes and Pan paniscus).
		This is shown not only in Cohen and Stewart's contributions, but also in Pratchett's, as he follows the wizards as they meet Archimedes and examine Isaac Newton's workshop.

		The Science of Discworld, a collaborative effort by Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen, is an interesting, although flawed attempt to write a popularization of science.
		Having broken the narrative into short chapters, Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen have taken the events of the story as a jumping off point for explaining scientific concepts.
		As the book progresses, Stewart and Cohen are able to build on the information they have already given, but frequently they settle more for the history of the scientific method rather than explaining the science.
