Science Book Club discussion

Add your book suggestions for our Oct read. The poll will run Sept 1 to 7

The Telescope in the Ice: Inventing a New Astronomy at the South Pole

That book sounds very interesting !

We need some suggestions for books to read in October.

Actually I like the book suggested ! :) So not adding this month ...

What are the rules? Only recently published or any?

We haven't made any rules, other than it should be science related. It would also be a good idea to check if the book is easily obtainable.

Then I would offer a book by Elia Mechnikov, a 1908 recipient of the Nobel Prize for the discovery of immunity. He is also the father of modern probiotics. His book is titled “The Prolongation of Life: Optimistic Studies” (1907), and it explores a wide range of topics from intestinal health, to optimism versus pessimism, to the personality of Goethe and his Faust.
