I am planning to read Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, as I will be at a conference with the author this year and am trying to read through the booklists of the speakers.
I just started Material Value: More Sustainable, Less Wasteful Manufacturing of Everything from Cell Phones to Cleaning Products and am thinking it'd satisfy this prompt. It's a copy I received from the author that I really NEED to get read also.
I am reading Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado-Pérez for a book club, and it fits this prompt well!
I was thinking about reading Play On!: The Hidden History of Women’s Australian Rules Football. I don't know that I've ever read a nonfiction book about sports before. My backup plan was The Perfection of the Paper Clip: Curious Tales of Invention, Accidental Genius, and Stationery Obsession
I'm reading Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking. While I no the basics of home cooking, I know nothing about the science behind it.
I read We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast and it was really good, interesting and I learned a lot about climate, the environment and the impact each of us has on the world around us.
