Science reading meme

Waiting on my boolean query to run on 20 plus years of newsletters from a Bay Area urban forestry nonprofit, I compiled a science reading list. I was tagged reading bootstrap analysis's meme.

Instructions:

Imagine: YOU are asked to assign a half-dozen-or-so books as required reading for ALL science majors at a college as part of their 4-year degree; NOT technical or text books, but other works, old or new, touching upon the nature of science, philosophy, thought, or methodology in a way that a practicing scientist might gain from.

The List:

• Drawing a Tree - Bruno Munari
• Ways of Seeing - John Berger
• Anything by John McPhee
• Books by David Quammen (I like "The Flight of the Iguana")
• Stephen Jay Gould is a well known science philosopher
