Inevitably after attending any type of show that features something even vaguely sciencey the list of books that I simply must read expands.
Here, as a service to anyone else similarly afflicted, is a list of books from as many of the speakers from the recent New Scientist Live show as I could quickly find.
The organisation of the show is such that you can’t possibly attend more than a few of the talks whilst you’re there, but that’s no reason to let unread books from people you could in theory have listened to pile up on one’s shelf of course.
Many of these distinguished folk have written several books. In those cases I picked a single one based on either which title it seemed they were implicitly or explicitly sales-pitching the most in their talk, or if not applicable, then perhaps their most recent or, just the one that caught my eye.
