I finished my 3rd book for the #ReadYourSign challenge, 9 in the title!
This collection of articles covered a variety of topics. My favorites were about the brain; in one a scratching obsession is almost cured with a mirror. Another favorite was about Darwin & his botanical work. Some articles had science above my head so I won‘t be trying another from the collection, but that‘s not their fault.

CSeydel I love this series 4y
PaperbackPirate @CSeydel I see you‘re a science writer so I bet you do! It was definitely interesting! My father-in-law is a botanist and wildlife biologist and loves the series. I‘m passing it on to him next. 4y
CSeydel Oh cool. I always feel weird reading them “late” — so I‘m glad to see someone else reading an older edition. I believe I have this exact one on my shelf! 4y
PaperbackPirate @CSeydel I got it at a used book sale a few years ago for $1 so I thought I‘d give it a try. I think the essays are still relevant despite the age. 4y
