PodBlack Blog, which
I've mentioned before, has
a great list of popular science books you might want to check out. It's in response to the new Entertainment Weekly "100 Best Reads" (which I won't link to here) that does not include
any science books. My only quibble: I'd exchange
Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything with the Natalie Angier book mentioned on the list.
Check it out.
