Posted on: December 7, 2009 12:50 PM, by John Dupuis

A nice selection from the Financial Times, spread across a few categories.

  • Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth by Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos H Papadimitriou
  • Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century by PW Singer
  • Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal by Tristram Stuart
  • Remarkable Creatures: Epic Adventures in the Search for the Origins of Species by Sean Carroll
  • The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution by Richard Dawkins
  • Seasons of Life: The Biological Rhythms That Living Things Need to Thrive and Survive by Russell Foster and Leon Kreitzman
  • Science: The Definitive Visual Guide edited by Adam Hart-Davis
  • Super-Organism: The Beauty, Elegance and Strangeness of Insect Societies by Bert Hölldobler and EO Wilson
  • Darwin's Island: The Galapagos in the Garden of England by Steve Jones

  • Rocket Men: The Epic Story of the First Men on the Moon by Craig Nelson
  • Plastic Fantastic: How the Biggest Fraud in Physics Shook the Scientific World by Eugenie Samuel Reich

(Odd bit about this list -- Logicomix was in the Politics & Religion sections?)

(Thanks, Susan T.)
