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)

mi kama sona e toki pona
I~we come to know the language of good: Toki Pona, a conlang composed of only ~140 words! Toki Pona was inspired by Taoist philosophy & pidgin languages and is designed to help speakers focus on the essentials by expressing maximal meaning with minimal complexity.
This list contains official instructional books for learning how to speak Toki Pona, original stories written for beginner tokiponists, and a number of books that have been translated into Toki Pona.
