Science Oriented Book Recommendations

Here at UCLA I'm a social science major (poli sci to be precise) so I have taken a series of "science for non-science people" classes. We kicked off this amazing quarter reading the play Arcadia which taught us the lesson that you cannot seperate art from science or reason from intellect. So this is basically the theme of our class and the last book we read was Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman. It is an incredible book that just blew my mind. It was putting different concepts Einstein's theory of relativity and time into fictional worlds. I just sat there in awe after reading it because it made me think so much and garner a new found appreciation for science. I think literature is a good medium to learn scientific concepts for people like me.

So...talking in tigerbolt today, I learned that a lot of you all have read some great science-oriented pieces and I want to know what they are and why you love them. These kinds of books I guess you can say are out of my norm since I'm used to reading the classics but I would love to read more from this genre.
