Science friends! If you were stocking the science section of a book store, what popular (as opposed to academic) titles would you put on the shelves? What books, in your opinion, are absolute essentials? 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬 (To keep things manageable, let's say from the last ten years.)

I second @chanda.bsky.social's Disordered Cosmos!
