I'm super in the mood for popular science at the moment, clearly, so here's my next read. I'm not as into chemistry as biology, so it might depend on how his writing it... there are authors who can engage me in anything, including physics, so it's possible! Also, the title and idea is pretty clever.
pickRecently I have been curious about Carbon and it's influence in shaping the world. I was looking for a book that could put everything together in explaining why it is so, and this book almost satisfied that desire. It was written by a minerologist and it tends to wander off into that direction. It's a great read if you want to understand a little bit more about the world, but I will keep looking for more answers about C that I couldn't find here.
pickReally topical book. It's accessibly and entertainingly written. The prose is very list-like though, and that's where it loses something in my eyes. If you can handle the science though, this would be an excellent choice. #symphonyinc #roberthazen #review
