For those curious about science but not very good at it, we’ve recently added to our BROWSE collection Natalie Angier’s The Canon: a Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science. Angier makes basic scientific concepts accessible to people whose brains normally reject the scientific with a loud “Ptui!” We also have Angier’s wonderful exploration of female physiology, Woman: an Intimate Geography, available to check out or read online. If you need help finding these titles in the library, please Ask a Librarian.
