Default anyone know a publisher?

I've been thinking about putting together a non-fiction book (sorry, not S2000 related) for awhile now, and am thinking more seriously now. Does anyone know a publisher that might be willing to talk with me? I'd love to learn alittle more about the process from the business side of things.

Thanks,
Brian

it's a 'science-related' book, and i am a scientist... am surrounded by scientists everyday, am friends with more scientists, have friends whose friends are scientists ... wait a minute -- i need some cooler friends. yadda yadda.

i think this qualifies as credentials ... but again, i'm not 100% sure of the business side of things. for instance, a couple of my friends have suggested i write the sucker, then contact publishers... others have said i should get the advice of a publisher first, then write with those suggestions in mind.

bottom line ... everyone who has gotten the guided tour of my book plan has been thoroughly supportive ... i'm a clever guy, and i think it would appeal to a wide range of readers.

thanks
