At one point of time, my older daughter wanted to become a doctor. She signed up at a university to do a summer of genome research and read quite few biology related no-fictions.
. Voyage of the Beagle by Charles Darwin
. Seven daughters of Eve by Bryan Sykes
. The selfish gene by Richard Dawkins
. Genome by Matt Ridley
. A life decoded by Craig Venter
. The Silent Spring by Rachel Carson
Reading alone doesn't seem to do the trick. Despite parent's encouragements, she changed her mind abruptly. Now she is studying Applied Math.
