D15 is very interested in biology. She said this week that she wants to do some more non-fiction reading in the science space, so I am looking for suggestions. She is a very strong reader, but has only had a little chemistry so far. She is not really interested in physics or engineering, but might consider a math book or two as well. Biographies are okay, but she is not much interested in Darwin or older bio history. Here are some that we have identified so far:
The Microbe Hunters
The Ghost Map
The Secret Life of Henrietta Lacks
Mountains Beyond Mountains (she is interested in public health)
The Nothing That Is: A Natural History of Zero
The Radioactive Boy Scout
Miss Leavitt's Stars
The Pale Blue Dot (neither this nor Miss Leavitt are biology, but she might read a couple of astronomy books too)
Abraham Lincoln's DNA and Other Adventures in Genetics
Einstein's Refrigerator and Other Stories of the Flip Side of History
Elizabeth Blackburn & The Story of Telomeres
