Thanks for having me on the channel! I had a great time revisiting these :)
We loved having you Simon!
"Enough with biology, now onto some real science." WOAH. Low blow.
I was looking forward to a video like this. Here are my favourites:
The endorphines
History of LSD
The microbe hunters
The double helix
The selfish gene
The Euler gem
I'm glad this was something you're interested in! And thanks for all the recommendations, these look brill.
Euler's gem introduced me to my favorite piece of math and one of the reasons to pursue math.
Simon always makes me feel engaged in all his videos especially when it comes to books. He has now made me want to read over hundreds of books. 😂
Wow!
This was great! Just bought the Oliver Sacks book from my local bookstore :)
The code book and The Fermat's last theorem were some of my child hood favourites
I think pop science/science are the greatest types of books you can get.
The immortal life
The man who mistook his wife for a hat
A Brief history of time
Alex's adventure in numberland
What If
Quick heads up for lovers of science and tech: The famed father of anticipatory systems in computing, Mihai Nadin's new book from Springer, Disrupt Science: The Future Matters, drops on Dec 20. His brilliant cross-disciplinary POV argues for ditching the "cult of machines" which is ineffective at predicting and averting disasters. He says the future of humanity and the planet depends on drawing on a deeper intelligence, as exhibited in actual life forms. He's the Univ of TX, Dallas, Ashbel Smith Emeritus Professor. You may love his iconoclastic insider insights!
LOVED this! I want to read all of them! Fantastic.
Edit: checked out and subbed Simon's channel! :-)
Ok, you sold it. I HATE Science, but if you say so, I'll give it a go. I am going to try Hawkins, and maybe Alex's Adventures in Numberland - when you get it back from whoever has it now...
Nicholas Oulton I like “I HATE science” 😂
Ooooo fantastic video!!!! Checking all these books out, very interesting recommendations thank you Simon!!!!
So im on youtube and i search for "book reviews popular science books" and this video is one of the top results. And im watching it and Ive known about henrietta lacks and oliver sacks and brief history of time for years (im old, like 35) and I smile a bit at the thing he says about how people have copies of brief history of time but they have never read it haha yep that is true for me too I have never gotten past the introduction. . . So yeah the first three books in this review are basic science reads that even I know about them (my favorite science book is Cosmos by Carl Sagan -- it changed my life when i first read it a long time ago 😆😊☺) but I love what Simon is saying about the Oliver Sacks book and then Simon Clark starts talking about the Numberland book and this is one book im hearing about for the first time here, so i make a mental note to look it up later . . . And THEN Simon Clark introduces the final book on his list. And when the book cover appears I feel like -- NO WAY!!! WHAT IF?! REALLY?! HAHAHA it is awesome and incredible because I spent all of yesterday reading What If for the first time -- I only recenty discovered xkcd, recently as in last month -- Im late af to the party I know but I fell in love with xkcd and then I got a copy of What If last month too but I only started reading it yesterday. And at first I didnt really expect to like it much -- I looked at the list of contents first and the scenarios posed just sound awful -- but I see the drawings and they look fun haha so I just start reading and before the first chapter is over I was hooked. I was reading the thing for Hours yesterday -- i think im 40 % done -- and i had read the Steak chapter. I am actually surprised at myself because I never expected to love the book this much -- But there I was reading it for hours, which is something I am rarely able to do nowadays. (How i read nowadays: I read a book for an hour and then I put it down and do something else and pick it up again three days later, haha) so anyway I AM AWED BY THIS AWESOME LITTLE COINCIDENCE where this book review that I am watching for the first time today ACTUALLY LISTS WHAT IF AS ONE OF THE BEST SCIENCE BOOKS THERE IS. 💓💕
Hey Simon! You mentioned in this video that you used to be bad at math and that you didn't like it. Do you think you could make a video about how you transitioned from that opinion and skill-level to actually liking and being good at math?
he talks a lot about this on his channel. Check it out!
You are delightful! loved this video. :)
Can you tell me about best chemistry books,please?
Do you know the exact science books of the Russian publisher MIR? And if so, could you make a video about your favorite books from the Russian publisher?
Wauw those are great books thanks for the tips
I found Sack's books a little boring compared to V.S. Ramachandran's. They're still good though.
Great! Greetings from Brazil! =)
Amazing
