Norbert56 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hello, I have a question. Recently, I read an interesting book, Short Answers to Big Questions, by Stephen Hawking. My question is this. Do you know any equally interesting books / authors on medical, chemical or biological topics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry of Yore Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Two of my favorites: "The Selfish Gene" and "Guns, Germs, and Steel". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Ronney Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Stephen Hawking is an amazing person. I am thirty-two years old, I always thought that it was too late for me to start doing science, but he changed my outlook. I wonder if there is such literature in Botany.

marrystalbergerdmz81 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Yeah my FAVORITE "The Selfish Gene" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 You are conflating Stephen Hawking with Richard Dawkins. They sorta rhyme, but they're completely different people working in completely different fields of study. Not the best post with which to necromance an almost 3 year old thread.

swansont Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 3 hours ago, iNow said: You are conflating Stephen Hawking with Richard Dawkins.

That was my immediate reaction, but the OP asks "My question is this. Do you know any equally interesting books / authors on medical, chemical or biological topics?"
