Plagues upon the Earth: Disease and the Course of Human History How pathogenic microbes have been an intimate part of human history from the beginning--and how our deadliest germs and biggest pandemics are the product of our success as a species
Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth and Impact the World Bold is both a manifesto and a manual. It is today’s exponential entrepreneur’s go-to resource on the use of emerging technologies, thinking at scale, and the awesome power of crowd-powered tools.
Connections James Burke examines the ideas, inventions, and coincidences that have culminated in the major technological advances of today.
Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science Demystifying buzzwords, laying bare the truths behind oft-quoted numbers, and answering the questions you were always too embarrassed to ask
Nature's Blueprint: Supersymmetry and the Search for a Unified Theory of Matter and Force For decades, physicists have been fascinated with the possibility that two seemingly independent aspects of our world—matter and force—may in fact be intimately connected and inseparable facets of nature.
Shape: The Hidden Geometry of Information, Biology, Strategy, Democracy, and Everything Else How should a democracy choose its representatives? How can you stop a pandemic from sweeping the world? How do computers learn to play Go, and why is learning Go so much easier for them than learning to read a sentence? Can ancient Greek proportions predict the stock market?
The God Effect: Quantum Entanglement, Science's Strangest Phenomenon The phenomenon that Einstein thought too spooky and strange to be true
The Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human The discovery of cells—and the reframing of the human body as a cellular ecosystem—announced the birth of a new kind of medicine based on the therapeutic manipulations of cells.
The Worlds I See: Curiosity, Exploration, and Discovery at the Dawn of AI The moving memoir of a scientist coming of age as an immigrant in America who finds her calling at the forefront of the AI revolution.
