Ologies Podcast Suggestions
Ologies is a weekly science podcast hosted by Alie Ward. Each episode, Ward interviews an expert from a distinct scientific field.
This unofficial list contains book suggestions made by the host or by her guests. I avoided extremely technical books or papers. Currently from episode 1 to 525 More details on these books and their associated episodes in my ever evolving spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet there are also books not found on Goodreads and general book recommendations (like the entire bibliography of a specific author or group of people)
Non-western culture and history
Culture and history outside of the "western world". Recommendations welcome! :)
Egyptomania
Alexa, play Cleopatra by Weezer.

Recommendations welcome. Except for anything by Zahi Hawass; he can suck eggs.
