St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences professor Laura
J. Snyder’s book The Philosophical Breakfast Club was just
voted the most popular science book in a poll taken by the Royal
Institution of Australia. The original list of 100 included
not just classic science books like Darwin's Origin of the
Species, but also popular science by Carl Sagan, Oliver Sacks,
and others, and science fiction by Margaret Atwood, Isaac Asimov,
and others.
