The Gene: An Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee
5.0

With a BS in Microbiology I was familiar with the science in this book but I did not know the stories behind the scientific improvements. Linking discoveries and the way this book builds upon itself is wonderful and clear for new readers. Great way to learn without reading a textbook, and for people in the field I would even recommend it as it enhanced my own understanding. There’s some unexpectedly beautiful lines throughout this book.
