Jane Brox–Brilliant: The Evolution of Artificial Light
Susan Casey–The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean
Paul Greenberg–Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food
Stephen Hawking–The Grand Design
Sam Kean–The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements
Siddhartha Mukherjee–The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
Hugh Raffles–Insectopedia
Mary Roach–Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void
Oliver Sacks–The Mind’s Eye
Rebecca Skloot–The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Jonathan Weiner–Long for This World: The Strange Science of Immortality
So, any other titles on this list I should be sure to read?
