Best Science Books 2007: Library Journal
I only have a few more of these list to get through for 2007. This one is from Library Journal and it's a pretty long one: Best Sci-Tech Books 2007: Beyond the Bounds of Science. I'll only highlight a few titles that I haven't seen in other lists.
- Rocketeers: How a Visionary Band of Business Leaders, Engineers, and Pilots Is Boldly Privatizing Space by Belfiore, Michael
- The Gentle Subversive: Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, and the Rise of the Environmental Movement by Lytle, Mark Hamilton
- The Second Life Herald: The Virtual Tabloid That Witnessed the Dawn of the Metaverse by Ludlow, Peter & Mark Wallace
- The Last Human: A Guide to Twenty-Two Species of Extinct Humans by Sawyer, G.J & others
- The Jesuit and the Skull: Teilhard de Chardin, Evolution, and the Search for Peking Man by Aczel, Amir
- How Mathematicians Think: Using Ambiguity, Contradiction, and Paradox To Create Mathematics by Byers, William
- The Ends of the Earth: An Anthology on the Finest Writing on the Arctic and the Antarctic
- The New Time Travellers: A Journey to the Frontiers of Physics by Toomey, David
- Of a Feather: A Brief History of American Birding by Weidensaul, Scott
It seems to me that this list would be particularly useful for any library that wants to order a wide range of well-reviewed popular science.
