Extinction: Bad Genes or Bad Luck?
Using the add book/author makes it easier for me to process to the poll at the end of the suggestion period.
Mod
Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge
The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science
The Philosophical Breakfast Club: Four Remarkable Friends Who Transformed Science and Changed the World
And three relatively new books I want to read this year:
A Man of Misconceptions: The Life of an Eccentric in an Age of Change
The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True
Before the Lights Go Out: Conquering the Energy Crisis Before It Conquers Us
The Brain Is Wider Than the Sky: Why Simple Solutions Don't Work in a Complex World by Bryan Appleyard
Christine wrote: "The Forest Unseen: A Year's Watch in Nature"Oné wrote: "Weird Life by David Toomey"
I second both of these books, for whatever that is worth!
I'd read something from the field of evolutionary psychology, like Geoffrey Miller's "The Mating Mind" or "Sperm Wars" by Robin Baker.

Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge
The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science
The Philosophical Break..."
Afraid it is only one nomination pr. person. So; I'll add the first one.

Here is the Poll to select July Group Read.. And I'll be speeding up the process somewhat (so the selected book will be ready at least a week before the month starts)
Will close the poll between 22th-23th of June.
