How ’bout some nonfiction?

We’ve had quite a run on our new books lately, especially the thrillers, mysteries, and general fiction. In an attempt to lure some fiction readers to nonfiction, here’s a “best books” list of recent science and technology titles written for the general reader, many written by “novelists, historians, and other non-scientists.” The titles at the Madison Library:

• Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
• Rocketeers by Michael Belfiore
• Einstein by Walter Isaacson
• Power to Save the World by Gwyneth Cravens
• The World Without Us by Alan Weisman
• The Last Human by G.J. Sawyer, et al.
• Evolution for Everyone by David Wilson Sloane
• How Doctors Think by Jerome Groopman
• The Wild Trees by Richard Preston (audio)

Any of the other titles on the list can be requested from other libraries, just let us know.
