Every year for the last bunch of years I’ve been linking to and posting all the “year’s best sciencey books” lists that I can find around the web in various media outlets.
From the beginning it’s been a pretty popular service so I’m happy to continue it. The previous posts for all the 2013 lists are here.
This time it's Science for the People Science Up Your Holidays.
- Primates: The Fearless Science of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas by Jim Ottaviani, illustrated by Maris Wicks
- Mountainfit by Meera Lee Seth
- Speaking to My Madness: How I Searched for Myself in Schizophrenia by Roberta Payne
- The Unfeathered Bird by Katrina van Grouw
- Red Rover: Inside the Story of Robotic Space Exploration, from Genesis to the Mars Rover Curiosity by Roger Wiens
- National Geographic Angry Birds Furious Forces: The Physics at Play in the World's Most Popular Game by Rhett Allain
(Disclaimer: I selected Primates for this list as one of 2013's guests of the Science for the People podcast/radio show)
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 most of my lists from Largehearted Boy. The summary post for 2012 books is here and all the posts for 2012 can be found here.
And if you wish to support my humble list-making efforts, run on over to Amazon
