Summer is the perfect time to take a break from the lab and catch up on some leisure reading. But this does not mean that you need to stay away from science entirely. ChemViews Magazine has collected recommendations by editors for entertaining books related to chemistry, science, and the future.
This year, you can send us your own suggestions by email until August 31, 2017, and have the chance to win one of three ChemistryViews.org power banks or one of three copies of “The Birds, the Bees and the Platypuses: Crazy, Sexy and Cool Stories from Science” by Michael Gross. You can recommend, e.g., non-fiction that presents science in an entertaining or interesting way, or fictional stories in which science plays a large role.
