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)

Animal Thoughts & Feelings
Philosopher Rene Descartes declared that non-human animals were nothing more than soulless machines who functioned as automata. Which is to say, Descartes was an idiot and this nonfiction proves it. Explorations of animal cognition, intelligence, emotions, and consciousness. So far I've only added ones that I've read or are on my upcoming TBR, but suggestions are also welcome.
