Thread: Your favorite Science Writers/Books?

for me

Carl Sagan
Lewis Thomis
Loren Eiseley

Bill Bryson

Currently reading: "The Canon" by Natalie Angier

Just read "Stiff" by Mary Roach - highly recommended

Michio Kaku is up there on my list, together with Michael Crichton, Stephen Hawking and Robin Cook.

Brian Cox - anyone who can make Physics interesting must be worth a read.

Those that don't patronize readers. Those that don't just write about 'gee-whiz' science.

Richard Dawkins "Climbing Mount Improbable" is an amazing read.

The Dean of Science Fiction -- Robert Heinlein.

Over the course of his career Heinlein wrote three somewhat overlapping series.

• Future History series
• Lazarus Long series
• World as Myth series

Robert A. Heinlein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Dawkins
Charles Darwin
Sigmund Freud (Does he count?)

I like Richard Feynman's work. Sagan was good as a popularizer, as Kaku is now. Isaac Asimov was perhaps the best ever, with 200+ fact books out there.

These two are also two of my favorite writers. I've read most of Robin Cook's. I call them my "Cook"books.

Lois McMaster Bujold.

Quantum mechanics and string theory, anyone? Brian Greene is fantastic. The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos by Brian Greene - Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists

I've always loved Catherine Fishers books, especially Incarceron, mostly because of the imaginative worlds she creates.

The Mote in God's Eye

Has to be Michael Crichton, hands down! His book Jurassic Park was WAY ahead of its time. H.G. Wells would have to be up there too, The Island of Dr. Moreau is a real thought-prevoker.
