I'd love to read Polio: An American Story. I can dimly remember the polio panic from childhood -- at one point my parents were sure my sister had contracted polio. This Pulitzer Prize winning scientific history garnered high praise.
How about this book
? Looks pretty interesting.
I second the nomination on E.O. Wilson's The Diversity of Life.I would also like to nominate The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science by Richard Holmes, though this book is more history of science, so I'm not sure if that's appropriate.
I'd like to nominate, again, "The Power of Habit".
