Joe's Science Book Recommendations!

People are always asking me “Hey, Joe! Do you have any recommendations for books I should read about ________?!”

You bet I do! I’ve put together a list of science books that I think are entertaining, well-written, widely accessible, and most of all, will teach you something. It’s not a comprehensive list, and if you think there’s something that just has to be on there, let me know on Twitter, message me on Tumblr or email me at itsokaytobesmart <at> gmail.com.

I’ll be constantly updating it, so bookmark it and check back from time to time to see what else has been added. Whether you’re looking for gift ideas, brain food for yourself, or you just want to put them on your bookshelf to look smarter, there’s something there for everyone. Biology, Brains, Physics, Space, Art, History and more.

Enjoy!
