Five Favorite Science Books, challenge by Jamie Glausiusz

Aa Aa Aa

Hi friends of women in science,

In American Scholar, Jamie Glausiusz posted recently that she made a snap list of the five favorite science books and they were all biographtical. I think that's great, since my own favorites tend to be biographical as well, and I think science biographies can be a real stimulus to deep thinking for youngsters condisering careers in science.

Here is Jamie's list:

Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle

Brenda Maddox, The Dark Lady of DNA

Primo Levi, The Periodic Table

Jamie Sayen, Einstein in America

Sharon Bertsch McGrayne, Nobel Prize Women in Science

Here is my list:

Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species

James Watson, The Double Helix

Brenda Maddox, The Dark Lady of DNA

Froncois Jacob, The Statue Within

Evelyn Fox-Keller, A Feeling for the Organism

So for me, four out of five were biographies or memoirs.

Do you have a list? To be strictly comparable, it needs to be written down in a flash, not deeply conned over for balance and fairness or anything. We can discuss that part later if you like. Do post lists in comments if you feel the urge.

cheers,

Laura

We produce the optimal quality of real database registered documents, where we record all the client's information in the supposed database system, and everything will be completely genuine, and the client can legally use the document without any problems.

This real documents will pass all airport scans and other data reading machinery or systems. Whenever this actual document is verified, all the client's information will show up in the supposed database system and everything will be genuine.

For instance; if you want us to produce you a US Passport, we shall register all your Biometric and Vital information in the US central database system under the government recognition. So this real Passport will pass all airport scans and checks, and you would be able to use the document legally without any problems.

Acquiring a second passport can expand rights and freedom. For an American, the benefits include free world travel and fewer problems from officious border guards or nosey customs and immigration officials. A second passport opens doors offshore otherwise closed to Americans. Best of all, dual citizenship and a second passport can be your key to reduced taxes and increased asset protection and it could even protect your life. For a citizen of a totalitarian country or one that holds a passport with pure visa-free travel it means complete freedom of movement along with the right to live and work in a normal developed society. passports licenses driving licenses passports include "Good News"

Hi Laura,

I think Marie Curie's autobiography, Darwin's book on animals' emotions, Phantoms in the Brain by Ramachandran, A Brief History of Time by Steven Hawking, and Mismeasure of Man by Gould would be my quick list.
