Caesar's Last Breath: Decoding the Secrets of the Air Around Us by Sam Kean
4.0
Yay, science!
I really like Sam Kean. He's the first science writer I've read. I love his books. This may be my least favorite one, though. It's still good, Just not the best.
I enjoy the poetic quality of this book. It's pretty romantic. I also feel so future-y reading about space colonization (let's take a moment to remember that imperialism sucks) and environmental engineering. I liked the puns and history stuff.
This book also has some WWII stuff. Can any book ever not get into the A-bomb? This is a challenge I'm planning to do; find a non-fiction that does not mention WWII at all in any of its facets.
