Please post a comment below to nominate a book for the group to read for November 2022.

Please use the "add book/author" link just above the comment box to insert a link to the ŷ������ 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.

Authors and publishers may not nominate their own books.

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 September 21 or when we have about 10 good nominations, whichever occurs first.

“Save This Land�� by Nachiketa Das, environmental and climate management in India.

/book/show/5...

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 ;) Seriously, the last time a dino book won was March 2019 ( /topic/show/... ).

The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to Us

I nominate The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity's Search for Meaning by Jeremy Lent

Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World
The Science of Birds

Both really good books I think a lot of people will enjoy. I'd love to discuss either/both.

The Science of Birds"

This book does not seem to be widely available. I couldn't find it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble or BetterWorldBooks, or at my public library.

scientificamerican Dot com/store/ebooks/the-science-of-birds/ It may be that it isn't widely distributed. That would be a shame as it is a book of very readable science papers and not pop science.

Bitch: On the Female of the Species

Brief Answers to the Big Questions Stephen Hawking

The author's woke agenda spoiled so much of the book for me. It would be really interesting to have a discussion about this book. I would like to hear other people's opinions on it.

I was going to nominate Breathless by David Quammen but I see that we are not supposed to nominate brand-new releases so I'll wait - but I plan to read it as soon as it's released in two weeks

A Natural History of Seeing: The Art and Science of Vision

Chance: A Guide to Gambling, Love, the Stock Market, and Just About Everything Else

An Imaginary Tale: The Story of the Square Root of Minus One

End of the Megafauna: The Fate of the World's Hugest, Fiercest, and Strangest Animals /book/show/3...��

Nominations are now closed.

Please vote for your preference at the following poll:
