Science friends! If you were stocking the science section of a book store, what popular (as opposed to academic) titles would you put on the shelves? What books, in your opinion, are absolute essentials?

(To keep things manageable, let's say from the last ten years.)

I like this question! A lot of great suggestions already. The Plant Hunter by Cassandra Quave was excellent. In a similar vein as Lab Girl by Hope Jahren (which is also fantastic). Also, pretty much anything Siddhartha Mukherjee has written.

@PhDMarie Yeah, Lab Girl went right onto the first list I made. I’m collecting titles for a friend’s store — I’ll add these others. Thanks!
