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.)

Feynman lectures are the first one that comes to mind.

@freemo great resource, recommend it to students a lot, but here I’m looking for popular science for the lay reader.

I think feynmen;'s lectures are much more digestable than they sound... but ill give you its not quite your every day popular science sort of publication.

What about the Startalk book? I hear good things about it!
