Science-Book Challenge 2009

Science-Book Challenge 2009
(January to December 2009)




The Host(s): Scienticity - see the initial challenge post for further information.

The Challenge:

Read three science books in 2009, tell others about the books you've read and help spread science literacy.

The Rules:

* Read at least three nonfiction books in 2009 related somehow to the theme "Nature's Wonders". Your books should have something to do with science, scientists, how science operates, or science's relationship with its surrounding culture. Your books might be popularizations of science, they might be histories, they might be biographies, they might be anthologies; they can be recent titles or older books. We take a very broad view of what makes for interesting and informative science reading.

* After you've read a book, write a short note about it, giving your opinion of the book. What goes in the note? The things you would tell a friend if you wanted to convince your friend to read it--or avoid it. Naturally, you can read some of the existing Book Notes for ideas. You might like to read our Book-note ratings for ideas about how to evaluate your books.

* Don't worry if you find that you've read a book someone else has also read; we welcome multiple notes on one title.

* Get your book note to us and we'll post it with the other notes in our Book Note section. Use the book-note form or the comment form to get in touch with us.
