Hello,
I'm in search for books dealing with topics within sciences that I can read and understand without being a specialist in that field of research. The area doesn't really matter as long as it's well written and the topic explained in an interesting way.
So far I only read
Fermat's Enigma by Simon Singh
Noah's Flood by Ryan and Pitman
I really liked the first a lot eventhough I did not understand much (well, nothing) of the mathematical concepts behind it. But what makes this a good read for me is the human component sketched out, the determination and struggeling.
I read the second book within 2 or so days. Not the most thrilling book as most of the concepts discussed were not new to me, but still an ok read for a holiday. Also a good impuls to look for literature dealing with the contents and searching for updates fi I find time.
I hope you know of more, similar books,
martine
