Name: |
Non-Fiction Book Group |
|
Description: |
The group meets once a month for a lively discussion of anything non-fiction, from economics to history, technology, and popular science. But the caveats for selection are no weighty tomes that should have had a copy editor before publishing, and nothing that is unreasonably costly or difficult to acquire. Books are proposed and voted on by the group. Then each member selects a book from the shortlist and leads its discussion. Here is what we are currently reading: Jan 20 The Periodic Table by Primo Levi Feb 17 Dispatches by Michael Herr Mar 17 Wayfinding: the Art and Science of How We Find and Lose our Way by Michael Bond Apr 21 The Power of Geography: Ten Maps That Reveal the Future of Our World by Tim Marshall May 19 The Weather Machine: How We See Into The Future by Andrew Blum June 19 Quantum Physics in Minutes by Gemma Lavender |
