Coming up with an all-time list of great science books is difficult and many great science books are bound to be left off the list. I shared a post on looking at the New York Times Bestsellers list for today's popular science books, but I wondered what were considered the greatest science books of all time. The first link that popped up in a search was a list of the greatest 25 science books of all time put together by Discover Magazine back in 2006.
25 Greatest Science Books of All Time
This is a heavy list of books that will dig you very deep into the material. These books are not for the light reader, but if you have a large interest in science, I'd urge you to throw one of these books into your reading every now and then. I'll admit I've read very few of the books on this list, but there are definitely some great books there. Books that have changed the thinking of society and vastly pushed science into the forefront of the non-science mind.
The first two books on this list are by Charles Darwin. That's some heavy reading! Darwin's research and publications drastically changed the thinking on the history of humans! And that's just the start to this list!
