Pratchett, Terry; Stewart, Ian; Cohen, Jack -- The Science of Discworld 2: The Globe
Sequel to the only "The Science of..." book I've ever read (or wanted
to read). Pratchett is cheerfully willing to put his characters
through (the usual) absurd escapades in order to demonstrate points
about science, evolution, history, and consciousness. And he can pull
the gimmick off without it even seeming contrived, dammit. Not written
on a level where I learned anything new (or expected to), but I'm
pleased I read it.
