Science and Inquiry discussion

Please post a comment below to nominate a book for the group to read for May 2016.

Please use the "add book/author" link just above the comment box to insert a link to the Goodreads book page for the book you are nominating, so other members can more easily assess it.

You may nominate a book which has been suggested previously and did not win.

Please do not nominate a book which is unlikely to be available to all members, such as one which was just published within the last three months or which is only available in the U.S.

Nominations will close on March 21 or when we have about 10 good nominations, whichever occurs first.

I would like to nominate The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt's New World, by Andrea Wulf.

Overpowered: The Dangers of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMF) and What You Can Do about It

The Sun's Heartbeat: And Other Stories from the Life of the Star That Powers Our Planet
