Science Book Club discusses "The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science" by Natalie Angier
Natalie Angier takes us on a "guided whirligig through the scientific canon." She draws on conversations with hundreds of the world's top scientists, and her own work as a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times, to create a thoroughly entertaining guide to scientific literacy. People magazine says "Angier has that rare dual talent: a true passion for science combined with a poet's linguistic flair." Those gifts are on full display in THE CANON, an ebullient celebration of science that stands to become a classic.
