Adams, Douglas & Carwardine, Mark | Last Chance to See | Purchased from my wish list by my sister L for holiday 2022. |
Bongiorno, Lori | GreenGreenerGreenest | This is a good book for trying to make sure you make the "smartest choices," environmentally speaking. I had seen a featured table of "green living" books just a couple days before my sister mentioned this book in conversation, so when I got a Borders coupon, I decided to get my own copy. |
Bryson, Bill | A Short History of Nearly Everything | I love philosophical stuff about science, so I picked this up at a used book store when I saw it. |
Chartrand, Mark R. | Skyguide: A Field Guide to the Heavens | Just a star atlas type thing, I love stars. I spilled chocolate milk on this or something, though. Some of the pages won't open. |
Dawkins, Richard | Ancestor's Tale, The | Mike gave this to me for holiday 2016. |
Dawkins, Richard | Blind Watchmaker, The | Birthday present from Stacy, great book about evolution. |
Dawkins, Richard | Devil's Chaplain, A | Mike bought this from the used bookstore for me. |
Dawkins, Richard | Selfish Gene, The | I saw this for sale at a used bookstore and wanted my own copy. |
Dawkins, Richard | Unweaving the Rainbow | Mike got me this for my birthday 2015. |
Dickinson, Terence; Dyer, Alan | The Backyard Astronomer's Guide | A nice hardcover with stunning photos. I never was able to use my telescope well enough to see even the basics. |
Greene, Brian | The Elegant Universe | Received this paperback from Fred for my 29th birthday! |
Hawking, Stephen | Brief History of Time, A | I decided I needed this in my collection after I'd read about half of it. Professor Hawking is great at bringing the *concept* to the layman without insisting upon their learning and understanding high math and physics. |
Hawking, Stephen | Illustrated A Brief History of Time/The Universe in a Nutshell, The | This is a combined book that was on sale at Borders, so I couldn't resist it (especially with a coupon!). |
Newkirk, Ingrid | Making Kind Choices | A sort of reference book by the president of PETA to help choose products that are kind to animals and the Earth. |
Rogers, Elizabeth & Kostigen, Thomas | The Green Book | Bought on a whim from Borders because it was on a buy-one-get-one-half-price table. This is a collection of "green" advice to help be more environmentally conscious in everyday life. |
Sagan, Carl | Pale Blue Dot | Present from Mikey for holiday 2009, science book I'd wanted to read for a while. |
