Bellish's comments from the Science and Inquiry group.

While it didn't quite live up to everything promised, I rather enjoyed this book. It was well written and told me plenty I didn't know, as well as touching on some interesting themes. It's a shame it didn't have more science in, but then with my Chemistry background the science was all I knew about Priestley, so it was good to find out more about his political and religious views. I agree with those above though: it needed to be longer and meatier to properly achieve its goals.

This was recommended to me a while ago and I haven't got round to reading it yet:

Power, Sex, Suicide Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life

All the suggestions sound interesting though.
