The RAM reading list – science literature as recommended by RAM staff
By: RAM Staff
In honour of National Science Reading Day (20 September) and Science Literacy Week (18-24 September), we asked our staff of curators, researchers, science enthusiasts, and history buffs to recommend some of their favourite science-themed reads. We hope this list inspires you to find your next great read - enjoy!
“E=MC2: A Biography of the World’s Most Famous Equation” by David Bodanis
(This book was recommended by two staff members - so you know it’s good!)
“E=MC2: A Biography of the World’s Most Famous Equation” by David Bodanis is a great book for the non-scientists like me. The author takes each part of the equation (including the equal sign) and provides a historical review of the scientist behind the symbol. Very engaging.
