Zoology

[close] A place to read and discuss some great science books from across all fields of biology, chemistry, and physics. Add suggestions to the group's shelves and I'll make polls to decide what to read next, so vote for the one you want. All discussion threads are open indefinitely, so feel free to join in, contribute, share links to cool things you find etc whenever. We aim to read one book every two weeks.

[close] If you are most often found holed up in your Atlanta home reading the latest on anything from quantum mechanics to squids, you're in the right place. This is a book club in the Atlanta area devoted to non-fiction science literature. We vote on and read one book every two months. Online discussion is encouraged. We meet in real life for pizza and beer when we finish the book. Feel free to post any science news, ideas, or recommendations. Have fun!

[close] This group is for those that just can't get enough of science and the natural world. *** All books are chosen by group members ***

[close] This reading group will focus on natural history. We will immerse ourselves within the realm of organisms as we explore the biodiversity of the planet. Discover and discuss animal species ranging from vertebrates such as birds and mammals to soft-bodied organisms such as mollusks, worms and jellies. We will journey throughout the world's biomes via ecological and evolutionary perspectives, the microscopic connections and the life histories of different species. Hopefully we will gain a better understanding of the numerous species we share the planet with. Environmental aspects and conservation measures are also important topics of interest in this group.
