I’ve been hoodwinked too many times by well-reviewed pop-sci books which I later discovered to be hated by the actual scientists who do the work. Quantum Supremacy by Michio Kaku was the final straw 😆
Cheers!

Circadian biology here.
Internal Time, by Till Roenneberg. Written by one of the “old guards” of the circadian field, old enough that he could be considered a founding father of the field in his own right.
The book is written as a collection of short stories, each one about a real circadian experiment or phenomenon that occurred, and the book invites you to interpret and think about the short stories before explaining the deeper biology and history behind the stories. It’s a very fascinating book and quite approachable for a non-scientific audience, though I think it’s very appropriate even for a scientific audience
I once helped with an experiment that sent beetles up in the space shuttle (yes, I am old) in Beetle Activity Monitors, in order to study their circadian rhythms in microgravity.
