@futurebird there's only one book anywhere close to your quest which I've read this year. It's about the problems which have been plaguing us for decades in astrophysics, and how anomalies actually help in finding solutions.
It's called SPACE ODDITIES: THE MYSTERIOUS ANOMALIES CHALLENGING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE, by Harry Cliff.
I found it to be well-written, engaging, and smoothly presented.
@futurebird I am currently reading The Wizard and The Prophet: Two Remarkable Scientists and Their Dueling Visions to Shape Tomorrow’s World by Charles C. Mann which is about Norman Borlaug and William Vogt and the impact of their very different views and approaches on our views about the Environment. I am not finished with it yet but it’s very well written and deeply researched and a history about two hugely impactful scientists (more about science than math) may be longer than pop nonfiction
@futurebird I'm nearly halfway through "Every Living Thing" by Jason Roberts about Linnaeus and de Buffon (of whom I'd never heard), and finding it quite interesting.
