Top 25 Greatest Science Books of All Time

In December 2006 Discover Magazine did an article on the 25 greatest science books of all time.  You can find them here.   The list was interesting, but let's be honest how many of us have actually read anything by Charles Darwin?  The reader's response was rather weak too.  Personally I've only read about half a dozen of the books on the list.  Perhaps there's an opportunity for someone to write a synopsis of all the books in one single easily digestible paperback.

I wrote this entry because I've been carrying around the torn out pages of the article in my notebook since last December.  How sad is that.
