If my son likes reading Richard Dawkins books, what else may he like?

[Belle716383]

DS 14 loves reading the Richard Dawkins. Any ideas to what else he may like to read. Thinking of some Xmas ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Bill Bryson

Fritjof Capra

Christopher Hitchens

Neurotribes by Silberman is a v engaging science book on autism

The Social Instinct is an update on evolutionary biology that goes well beyond Dawkins.

Harari's books (Sapiens & others) are good

Steven Jay Gould
Oliver Sacks

Simon Singh's "Fermat's Last Theorem" or Dava Sobel's "Longitude".

Hawkins, A brief history of time.

Came to say Christopher Hitchens too. My DP loves him and Dawkins.

Watching with interest

Second Oliver Sacks - I love his books. First started reading them when I was about 18, but they should be accessible to an interested 14-yo.

Thanks everyone for the really great ideas!!

Ben Goldacre Bad Science?

Has he read the Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy ? Lots of themes about philosophy, atheism and physics in that

I highly recommend Steve Jones; the geneticist, not the presenter! 'Almost Like a Whale' is one of my favourite popular science books. Richard Fortey's 'Life: An Unauthorised Biography' is an interesting read too.

Uncle Tungsten by Oliver Sacks
The Code Book by Simon Singh
Mendeleyev's Dream by Paul Strathern
