      I got teary eyed when my 5yo asked me about how baleen whales feed the other day, and I showed him a video narrated by David.

      Just today I saw another great video from David. There will never be another like him (edit: David, not my kid), which is the saddest part of this post.

      I wish to know more about science in general and books are a good way to do that. We have a good assortment of science-minded people on Tildes, so I think it would be interesting to know what everyone recommends. The one requisite is that the books must be adequate for a general audience. This means that the books must not require the reader to hold a STEM degree or even have a particular aptitude for STEM.

      Just so it is abundantly clear: I am looking for books that people with an arts and humanities background can read. Laypeople. "Dummies".

      I'm asking more about books that are intros to a specific field than introductions to science in general.

      Thanks!
