10.8 - Hey, Einstein!
March 14 is Albert Einstein's birthday. Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics and his work had a large influence on the philosophy of science. In honor of Einstein, read a book with the main page genre "Science" or "Philosophy."

Is Story of the Eye valid?
It has "Philosophy" as genre, but I'm not sure it works.

It has the required genre and it's over 100 pages so, yes, it works.

Verify for The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon please?

Maya wrote: "Verify for The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon please?"

Sorry, Maya. Neither "science" nor "philosophy" is showing at the moment. If it comes back, post again (here or in the gene verification thread, or both) and I'll try to catch it.

Would Logic: The Right Use of Reason in the Inquiry After Truth count? That's my first choice since I started it this month.

Philosophy noted as a main page genre.

I had problems getting into the book I previously asked about (First Bite: How We Learn to Eat).

Can the genre be embedded? The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal currently has Science > Technology as a main page genre.

Would Aristotle in 90 Minutes work?
It's definitely philosophy, but not sure it would work for length...

Christi wrote: "Would Aristotle in 90 Minutes work?

No, sorry. All books must be at least 100 pages long. The only exception is one book between 80 -99 pages may be used for ONE 5 point task. Since this is a 10 point task, this book won't work.
