Best Science Books of 2011

Last week, I started celebrating the break by posting a few of the "Best Books of 2011" lists that I came across. This week, we'll celebrate with a few "best science books" of the year lists!  As always, don't forget that if you see something on one of these lists that you like, but that we don't have at the library, request it!  

• 2011's Best Cookbooks (NPR)
• On Science: Best Books of the Year (Boston Globe)
• Top 10 Books of 2011 (Physics World)
• 11 Best Science Books of 2011 (Brain Pickings)
• Notable Nonfiction of 2011 (Washington Post)
• Best Books of 2011 Science (Amazon)
• Books of the Year (scroll down to "Science and Technology;" The Economist)

Another science librarian blog, Confessions of a Science Librarian, keeps a running list all year long of the Best Science Books.  Check out his list of lists here!
