microhistory: the intensive historical investigation of a well defined smaller unit of research (such as an event, community, individual or a settlement); it aspires to "ask large questions in small places"

This podcast might not actually kill you, but it covers so many things that can.

A compilation of the selections found in the special book club episodes of This Podcast Will Kill You, a podcast about disease ecology, history, and medical mysteries! (Hosted by Erin Welsh and Erin Allmann Updyke.)

A list of books for the natural science nerds! Selections include topics on ecology, evolution, environmental science, environmental biology, and the folks who make the science happen!

Nonfiction on a single, weirdly specific topic

This is not a taboo romance list…..well, if you don’t count my weird love for all things poisonous or venomous! A list of non fiction books about the critters that make chemical weapons, nasty toxins that are a bit more human in origin, and people who use chemistry for more nefarious intents!!

This list focuses on nonfiction books that describe different topics in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). This list tends to prioritize books that focus more on the whys/hows something works, but occasionally dive into the history of subjects too!

Happy reading! As always open to suggestions!! 🤠🌱
