4.		Acid-Base, Fluids, and Electrolytes Made Ridiculously Simple (MedMaster Series) from Medmaster Price: $17.05 Customer Review: I was surprised by the detail that this small book covered, but it explained just enough without being too much.

5.		The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2007 (The Best American Series (TM)) from Houghton Mifflin Price: $10.92 Customer Review: Very good collection. I subscribe to many of the magazines these articles come from and I still love this series. Very often reading about science can be laborious.

6.		Panic in Level 4: Cannibals, Killer Viruses, and Other Journeys to the Edge of Science from Random House Price: $17.16 Customer Review: Very well written stories. I agree that the title of the book is misleading. The title deserves about a 1 star, it just isn't accurate at all. But the stories are interesting and if you like his work (like the Hot Zone) you will like this. I believe the 6 stories are all previously published New... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

First Light: The Search for the Edge of the Universe from Random House Price: $17.10 Customer Review: This is a top read, and in fact, I've read this book about 4 times, if you count all the times that I pick it up and have a go again.

You will feel that there... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		American Steel from Quill Customer Review: We borrowed the unabridged audiobook from our public library and listened to it on a long car trip. We were all riveted, including our 14-year-old son, because of the vivid characters, excellent reading, and compelling overarching idea of Nucor being nimbler, leaner, and smarter than "Big Steel." As... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
