 James Burke is looking for Grad Students and Academics to help do research.- read below.A previous update from Mr. Burke: (Jan. 11, 2002) – “The book is coming along well and (so far!) on schedule. MS is due with the publisher (Simon & Schuster) August 1, for a late autumn publication. As the book moves along, it looks like I’ll be changing the title. To what, not yet known!”
“The web project goes well, thanks to help from a group of very dedicated and highly qualified pro bono people in Silicon Valley and around the country (the web will go online free when it’s ready). We meet virtually (and less often in real world). Main need at the moment is for help in researching the 400 x 1000-wd biographies left to do (I’ve done 1800), so if anybody out there is a grad student or in the academic world and feels like helping, I’d be glad to hear from them (via you).” “That’s it for the moment! Best regards.
To respond to Mr. Burke’s request for volunteer help on his Knowledge Web project, please send a reply to him, via The James Burke Connection at info@palmersguide.com.
 Latest update from Mr. Burke: (June 15, 2002) – Things move along here in France. One chapter to go and I’ve finished the first draft of the next book (MS due in July 31). The web continues to grow: the article in Wired brought in over 200 volunteers.”
 (VIDEOS) James Burke videos have once again become available on-line for sale. My preferred vendor is Ambrose Video. They have been kind enough to create a James Burke section on their Documentary Video site for us. Please give their website a visit if you are looking for Connections, Connections 2, Connections 3 or After The Warming.By the way, Ambrose Video does carry the original Connections series on DVD!
 Not long ago, several considerate people e-mailed in to say that SVE Media – Churchill Video carries the Universe tapes for around $750.00. After checking into this, it appears that schools and other education-oriented organizations are the ONLY groups allowed to purchase the “Universe” series from this source.
From time to time I have seen references to “The Day The Universe Changed” on E-BAY. (Also to be found are copies of the increasingly hard to find “Connections” CD-ROM game.)
 Want to share your ideas and comments about James Burke and his world? In doing research for the James Burke News Update, I have discovered a news group and a Yahoo Club with chat room capabilities that are devoted to Mr. Burke. They are highly underused. A lot of you out there e-mail me with questions, requests and suggestions and it is obvious that you should all be talking with each other in addition to me. The Burke newsgroup is at “alt.fan.james-burke” and the Yahoo chat room is at: groups.yahoo.com/group/connectionswithjamesburke. Try ‘em out and see what happens.
 For those of you who desire to send personal messages to Mr. Burke, or for information on scheduling him for a future speaking engagement, Mr. Burke has requested that comments and inquiries be sent to him in care of his lecture agent, Royce Carlton:Royce Carlton, Inc.mail – 866 United Nations Plaza, New York, NY 10017 email – info@roycecarlton.com website – www.roycecarlton.com/speakers/burke.html
