old/tired/boring/newage-physics/pap-for-the-masses. Here are a few I>ve
read that were enjoyable:
Lawrence W. Cheek
A. D. 1250, Ancient Peoples of the Southwest
Elenore Smith Bowen
Return to Laughter
{anthropology}
Robert T. Bakker
The Dinosaur Heresies
{paleontology}
John R. Horner
Dinosaur Lives
Digging Dinosaurs
{paleontology}
Jeffrey H. Schwartz
What the Bones Tell Us
{anthropology}
Ernst Mayr
The Growth of Biological Thought
{biology}
Darwin
The Voyage of the Beagle
{history,biology}
David Quammen
The SONG OF THE DODO: ISLAND BIOGEOGRAPHY IN AN AGE OF EXTINCTIONS
{biology}
Jared Diamond
