Mari’s comments from the Science Books for Science Teachers group.

Picking an all-time favorite is hard, so top 2 or 3 is great too!

My two favorites are:
The Lorax
Timeless classic, great for all ages.
I don't usually say this about book-based movies, but I love the movie too!

A Short History of Nearly Everything
I read this last summer, and I know I'll need to reread it every few years. The book itself was pretty complete, very engaging, and I learned a lot about science that I did not otherwise know.

What are yours?

This one looks really cool! I'll have to check it out.

I'm currently reading The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures.

It has been an interesting read so far. I don't know much about the Hmong culture, so I really appreciate that there is a lot of history embedded in the book. It's almost like an ethnography, but tackles the tough issue of traditional versus westernized medicine.

It's summer break (for most of us), what science book are you diving into?
