What Was The Last Good "science Book" You Read?
I am reading The 4% Universe by Richard Panek. It's an "easy access" romp through the history of cosmology and astrophysics (at this point, 100 pages in) and focuses on those who have searched for dark matter, energy "and the race to discover the rest of reality".
And it's pretty good! I'm enjoying the lightness of something which could, potentially, be a bit tricky to grasp. I'm currently in the mid-80's when they were trying to find a way to use SuperNovae as "standard candles".
Anyway, I wondered if you could offer your own recommendations of "Science Books" - ones which you have read recently, or just your favourites - fire away!
(Just to note: recently I've read Pinker's Better Angels of Our Nature, This Explains Everything (edited by John Brockman) and before that I read Foer's Moonwalking with Einstein - I am not sure if any of these count as a "science book" but they were excellent none the less.)
