Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Please post a comment below to nominate a book for the group to read for June 2021.

Please use the "add book/author" link just above the comment box to insert a link to the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ book page for the book you are nominating, so other members can more easily assess it. Apparently this only works on the desktop version of the site; if you use the app, the link is not available yet, so just be sure to put the full title and author.

To check whether a book has been previously read or already selected to be read, check the following list: /group/books...

You may nominate a book which has been suggested previously and did not win. You may nominate more than one book, but we might not include all of your nominations in the voting.

Please do not nominate a book which is unlikely to be available to most members, such as one which was just published within the last three months or which is only available on Kindle in the U.S.

Nominations will close on March 20 or when we have about 10 good nominations, whichever occurs first.

For some time I've been hearing recommendations for David Eagleman's work and recently bought The Brain: The Story of You, so would like to nominate that

Vaccine: The Controversial Story of Medicine's Greatest Lifesaver

Wawa wrote: "Vaccine: The Controversial Story of Medicine's Greatest Lifesaver"

This book seems to have limited availability. Amazon and Barnes & Noble both sell the paperback, but the hardback is from third parties (used?). There are no ebooks or audiobook versions. And neither of my local libraries has it. In fact in Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, only 262 people have shelved it, even though it was published in early 2007.

I will nominate Fossil Men: The Quest for the Oldest Skeleton and the Origins of Humankind by Kermit Pattison.

I nominate Dinosaurs: How they lived and evolved. It's the best natural history of dinos for adults. I reviewed the 1st edition ( /review/show... ). Also, this group needs more dino love.

I will nominate Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History.

I will nominate "now the physics of time" by Richard Muller

I will nominate ‘How to avoid a climate crisis� by Bill Gates

I'd definitely like to read this, but it's a little too new. It was just published in February, and may not yet be available to a number of our members.

We currently have five valid nominations:

The Brain: The Story of You

Fossil Men: The Quest for the Oldest Skeleton and the Origins of Humankind

Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved 2016

Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History

Now: The Physics of Time

We have four days more for nominations.

We visited a bookstore today after more than six months and treated ourselves to a few tomes. I'll nominate one of them - Gene Machine: The Race to Decipher the Secrets of the Ribosome by Venki Ramakrishnan

I nominate Feynman's Rainbow: A Search for Beauty in Physics and in Life by Leonard Mlodinow.

i second Isaac's Storm.

Sponsored

Marcia Bjornerud

Timefulness: How Thinking Like a Geologist Can Help Save the World, Marcia Bjomerud

My vote goes to

The Brain: a Story of You.

/book/show/2...

I also vote for the brain. Also hi. I don't typically vote but this one peaked my interest.

I nominate She Has Her Mother's Laugh by Carl Zimmer

Ooh, I would love to read Vaccine!

"She Has her Mother's Laugh" is a very good book. But we read it in April 2019.

These all sound so good. I am excited to see what will be chosen.

Just a heads up, "Dinosaurs: How they lived and evolved" is the best of the nominees ;)

Nominations are now closed.

Please vote for your preference at the following poll:

/poll/show/2...

which will be open through April 26.

NOTE: If you "voted" in a comment in the above thread, that doesn't count. You must go to the poll to vote.
