Best Science Books 2010: New Statesman

Another list for your reading, gift giving and collection development pleasure. I've cobbled this together from the critic-by-critic list I point to above.

  • You Are Not a Gadget: a Manifesto by Jaron Lanier
  • The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
  • The Ego Tunnel: The Science of the Mind and the Myth of the Self by Thomas Metzinger
  • The Plundered Planet by Paul Collier

I'm always looking for recommendations and notifications of book lists as they appear in various media outlets. If you see one that I haven't covered, please let me know at jdupuis at yorku dot ca or in the comments.

I am picking up a lot of lists from Largehearted Boy.

Earlier entries in this year's list of lists can be found here and the 2009 summary post here.
