Seems like all I'm doing lately is reading microbiology books and writing about what I learned on my blog. I finished Everything is Tuberculosis and it was quite a fascinating read. https://microbialmenagerie.com/five-things-i-learned-from-reading-everything-is-tuberculosis/

Five Popular Science Books by Real Scientists – Explaining Science
Five Popular Science Books by Real Scientists
Posted on December 1, 2025 by Steve Hurley
I thought it would be interesting to produce a short list of popular science books, which I’ve not read before, which would be worth reading. I have done some research on Amazon, looking for five books which:
- looked appealing,
- were well written,
- were published in the last 15 years,
- were aimed at the general public with an interest in science ( i.e.weren’t dumbed down), and
- had a large number of good reviews.
I decided to only consider books written by authors who had worked in the field the book was about. I was looking for books written by real scientists rather than journalists. It really irriates me when journalists without scientific training write books and articles which end up being full of mistakes.
So, here’s the list my five books along with a link to their Amazon UK product pages. This will enable you to have a look at the book descriptions yourself and just as importantly look at the reviews (from people who have actually read the book ). If you are interested in any of these books, please don’t feel obliged to buy them from Amazon, you could always buy from your local bookshop or borrow from your local library.
Editor’s Note: I left in links to Amazon UK. I am not certain they work, but your national Amazon should be close by. –DrWeb

Today I was reminded by someone of #NickLane's "Life Ascending", they say it is very good... I bought it in 2010, I think. It received the Royal Society's Prize for Science Books that year... I used to watch closely those, and buy some of the finalists.. I guess I'll read it in 2024, maybe. #books #ScienceBooks #biology
