Readable science, nature, psychology and big ideas
Popular science books in this section cover science written for general readers rather than specialists. You can find accessible books on the brain, evolution, physics, maths, medicine, statistics, nature, human behaviour and the history of scientific ideas.
The range is fairly broad, with authors such as Oliver Sacks, Richard Dawkins, Jared Diamond, Daniel Kahneman, Hans Rosling and Tim Harford appearing in the current stock. There are also some graphic guides and a few more introductory or younger-reader science books. Stock may change, so the mix will not stay exactly the same.
A good part of this category sits between science and everyday life: habits, risk, sleep, data, bias, decision-making, health and technology. There are also natural history and wildlife titles, along with biographies and science-history books about people such as Darwin, Einstein, Galileo and Alan Turing.
If you want a wider mix beyond this section, see Science, Business & Technology for the broader parent category. For books that lean more toward inventions, computing and AI, try Technology & Future. For titles focused more on markets, work and management than science itself, there is also Business & Economics.
