    In the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), reading often means tackling dense, technical texts. However, there’s a growing collection of lighter, more accessible STEM books that make complex topics enjoyable for everyone. Whether you’re a student, a professional, or simply a curious enthusiast, these books offer a fun and enlightening way to explore the wonders of science and technology.


    This blog article was inspired by a book display that caught my eye at our Cameron Science and Technology Library this spring. Many thanks to Debbie Feisst, Head, Faculty Engagement (Natural + Applied Sciences) and Grace Telder-Romanow, Information Services Specialist for these wonderful book suggestions!


     For even more book suggestions, have a look at our archived #Good Reads blog posts.
