|author= Andrew Morris
|title= Why Icebergs Float: Exploring Science in Everyday Life
|rating= 4
|genre= Popular Science
|summary=This unusual science textbook is based on the meetings of a science discussion group who raise questions from their everyday life. The group's resident science expert, Andrew Morris, does a sterling job in trying to answer some of their most obscure and challenging issues, which range from the physics of light and electricity to brain chemistry and social anthropology. Each chapter is based around a theme which grows from an observation made by a group member, such as ''what colour is the blood in the body'' and ''why is the tide so far out at Blackpool''. This tie-in to the reality of our lives, makes the science more interesting and somehow more useful.

|author=Eugenia Cheng
|title=Cakes, Custard and Category Theory: Easy recipes for understanding complex maths
|rating=5
|genre=Popular Science
|summary= Eugenia Cheng is a professor of maths and a lover of cake. If you’re wondering how those two things could ever intersect, it’s it's quite easy. And the result, the middle of the Venn diagram, if you will, is this book which makes maths fun, meaningful and relatively easy to digest. Much like her recipes.
