Science through graphic novels

Science Friday's "Science Through Graphic Novels"... Great interview(s)! Using graphic novels to teach science...

In this segment, we'll take a look at two graphic novels that approach science from a different direction. One tackles Darwin's 'Origin of Species,' while the other deals with the life and ideas of philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell.
Michael Keller - Journalist, Author, "Charles Darwin's On The Origin Of Species: A Graphic Adaptation" (Rodale Books, 2009) 
Apostolos Doxiadis - Co-author, "Logicomix: An Epic Search For Truth" (Bloomsbury, 2009)

I don't get this. If you click on the links all you get is ads for the books or a radio program. What's the point?

@tom fauquet - if you click the links it will take you to amazon so you can see the book(s) and it will also take you to an interview with the artists/authors on NPR (science friday).
