A popular science book club for teachers that meets half-termly. Set up by @flynn_simon so you know who to blame for any poor management.

'When We Cease to Understand the World' is classed as fiction, but it contains some of the best popular science I've read in a while (it also included a classic chemistry misconception!).

There is currently a lot of noise about the movie 'Oppenheimer'. If you're interested in learning more about the history of the atomic bomb, check out this book by @JimBaggott. It's a superb mix of science, politics and military history.

Almost every week during term time, I post on Google Classroom a 'book of the week (BOTW)' to many of my students. I try to include a review or two of each recommended book, along with its blurb, so they can learn something new even if they don't read it. Here's the first.

BotW: One of the best pop maths books I've read. It takes us on a captivating journey that includes infinity, Archimedes, geometry, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Leibniz, sine waves (genuinely fascinating), music (timbre), AIDS, CT and PET scans, radar and DNA. https://t.co/1ARRcr9BAd

Sociologist Jonathan Kennedy explores how infectious diseases have impacted human society, politics and economics, from earliest times to the present day.

BotW: 'Origin Story: A Big History of Everything' by David Christian. 'The creator of 'Big History' brings us the epic story of the universe and our place in it, from 13.8 billion years ago to the remote future'.
