Lessons in Chemistry
by Bonnie Garmus
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. But like science, life is unpredictable. Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters this is a great read!

by Michael Pollan
The author dives deep into three plant drugs–opium, caffeine, and mescaline. It is a unique blend of history, science, and memoir, as well as participatory journalism. When we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in one of the most profound ways we can.
