OK, so not the snappiest title.  But in the spirit of year-end round-ups and top-tens, I wanted to remind everyone of the books that were reviewed on Somatosphere during 2010.  Most of this is thanks to our great book review editor, Todd Meyers, without whom there would probably be about two reviews on this list, rather than 12.

We’ll be reviewing more books in 2011, so if you’re interested in reviewing a book for Somatosphere, or if you are an author or press publicist and are interested in sending us a review copy, feel free to contact Todd.

And here are the reviews (in reverse chronological order):
