The Canon
The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science
by Natalie Angier.
Mariner Books, 2008.
This would be a decent overview of a broad range of basic science topics, but unfortunately the writing style ended up really putting me off. Rather than making the material more accessible, the author’s attempts at wit just confuses things and after a while gets annoying.
