Here's quite a few, but they might be of interest to others. 1. You Have the Right to Remain Innocent: great advice that I had never seen anywhere else (except his video that started the whole thing). 2. The Vital Question: good overview of origin of life research. 3. Fragment: hard science fiction (is that the term?) that delved into evolution and dovetailed with some of the reading I had been doing around that subject. 4. The Science of Navigation: delved into the wonder of current navigational technology and how we got to here. 5. The Lost City of the Monkey God: bought on a lark, made me realize that archaeology can still find new things nowadays. 6. Island of the Lost: historical account of two shipwrecks on the same island at the same time that knew nothing of each other. 7. Protecting the Gift: another eye-opener about being more aware of the ways people _can_ prey on children. 8. Wondrous Contrivances: how people reacted to new techologies in the past. 9. Rig Ship for Ultra Quiet: submariner's account of life during a Cold War operation.
