Leaving Orbit: Notes from the Last Days of American Spaceflight

"Leaving Orbit - Notes from the last days of American spaceflight" - pleasantly sentimental view of the wind down of the shuttle program. "The Dark Forest" 2nd installment in Three Body Problem series. Quite clever. "This Changes Everything" - triggered by a quote from the doc on the radio about trying not to think about climate change and whether it's possible to be bored by the end of the world. Lots of good info (including a visit to a climate deniers conference), bit long winded. "The Princeton Companion to Applied Mathematics". If I read only 10% still worth it. Lots of things to dip into. "The Astronomer and the Witch" Kepler fights to save his mother from persecution.
