1. The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring
from Random House

Customer Review:
This book could easily have been edited in half, so much of it was irrelevant fluff. Yes there was a story to be told, but it was padded out with the prosaic details of it's subjects personal lives. Why would we want to know their golf handicaps, or what they have for breakfast? These people are... more info

Customer Review:
For three out of four sections in The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story, Richard Preston's maintains an engaging and informative story of the hunt for the dreaded filovirus. This is a category of viruses including Ebola that can be swiftly lethal to primates (like you) and unmerciful in their... more info

3. The Demon in the Freezer The Demon in the Freezer
from Fawcett
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
Feel like being angry and disturbed? Give this a read. The Hot Zone was a great read but not nearly as scary as this book which shows just how evil mankind truly is. I keep asking myself why the Soviets would ever think that these viruses and antibiotic resistant bacteriums could be useful in... more info

5. Acid-Base, Fluids, and Electrolytes Made Ridiculously Simple (MedMaster Series) Acid-Base, Fluids, and Electrolytes Made Ridiculously Simple (MedMaster Series)
from Medmaster
Price: $17.05

Customer Review:
I was surprised by the detail that this small book covered, but it explained just enough without being too much. Very good for someone needing a little more guidance through the topic of electrolytes and such. Lots of information in each short chapter and good practice questions.

7. The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2007 (The Best American Series (TM)) The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2007 (The Best American Series (TM))
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
Very good collection. I subscribe to many of the magazines these articles come from and I still love this series. Very often reading about science can be laborious. This is a great collection of wide-ranging topics that give you a taste of many different areas.

8. First Light: The Search for the Edge of the Universe First Light: The Search for the Edge of the Universe
from Random House
Price: $17.10

Customer Review:
This is a top read, and in fact, I've read this book about 4 times, if you count all the times that I pick it up and have a go again. The narrative takes you right into the workings of the "Big Eye", and the real people that make her work. You will feel good reading this. You will feel that there... more info

The Boat of Dreams is a simple Christmas tale of a brother and sister in 1969 whose dad is missing-in-action in Vietnam. Their mother works day and night to support them and sitting next to their trailer home is a shiny, beautiful boat, the Sarah Ann named after their mother - their dad's pride and... more info

10. American Steel American Steel
from Quill

Customer Review:
We borrowed the unabridged audiobook from our public library and listened to it on a long car trip. We were all riveted, including our 14-year-old son, because of the vivid characters, excellent reading, and compelling overarching idea of Nucor being nimbler, leaner, and smarter than "Big Steel." As... more info

11. The Hot Zone The Hot Zone
from Corgi Books

Customer Review:
I read this book when it was first published and just finished a re-read. I was as fascinated this time as when I first read it in 1989. The author writes in such a way that the average reader can understand the biology of Ebola. It is completely mesmerizing. He is very detailed about the emergence... more info

13. North American Trees North American Trees
from Wiley-Blackwell
Price: $62.99

Customer Review:
This is a good book for keying out trees, but it is all in black and white. It has good three dimensional drawings. It has drawings of leaves and fruit but no pictures of actual trees or bark. It has many small maps showing the native range of trees. It has a good introduction about trees and leaves... more info

14. Men in Arms: A History of Warfare and Its Interrelationships With Western Society Men in Arms: A History of Warfare and Its Interrelationships With Western Society
from Holt Rinehart and Winston
Price: $39.95

Customer Review:
_Men in Arms_ represents a unique work--in just under 400 pages of text, the authors have managed to produce a work which presents the reader or student with a fine overview of warfare from the Ancient Greeks to the advent of operations other than war in the late-1980s/early 1990s.

Naturally, in... more info
