My favorite scientist writing popular literature is Richard Dawkins, who’s absolutely brilliant. That said, Gould had a bigger following, but since his death, I’m not sure that anyone is really filling that niche well. Sagan was great in his day, but again… I’m not thrilled by the other physicists writing these days.

I love to read, so feel free to throw in suggestions of books with your author names! And I don’t care what branch of science… just looking for great books and writers. Thanks!

I want to cite on my paper what another author also cited in his paper. But i cant find the original article? Can i cite both authors (the original and the one who cited) in my paper? If so, how can i do that properly?

Thanks very much!
