This is the time of year for top 10 lists. Booklist puts out various top 10 lists throughout the year, including Top 10 Sci-Tech Books. Are you looking for a good science or technology book to read? Then check out the below titles. These works of popular science cover a wide range of topics including birds, cats, whales, the universe, and much more. Although I don't often read science books, I have read one on the list and I highly recommend it. The Smallest Lights in the Universeis a powerful memoir that tells the story of an astrophysicist's journey of discovery, loss, and reinvention. Are there any that you would add to the list?
