Finished rereading Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything". Beautiful stylized history & pop science, w/an emphasis on how we gradually improve our understanding in fits & starts, & of how ignorant we remain
One of the best appreciations of science& scientists ever IMO

If a better scientific biography has ever been written, I'd like to read it! Extraordinary history & biography: [Much less technical, but Gleick's "Genius" and Skidelsky's abridged Keynes are also marvellous. (The abridged is better than the full bio.)
