Dear Ian There is a bibliography of popular science texts on the Wellcome Trust Information Service web pages which you can visit at http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/en/1/misinfbibcla.html. The list contains a selection of books available for reference in the Information Service. It was last updated a year ago and will be updated again shortly. For more recent titles, you can search the Information Service's catalogue at http://library.wellcome.ac.uk/. Hope this helps.

They are now looking at buying books and have asked me to advise on science books for the popular, but not totally scientifically illiterate reader. It strikes me that there is a bunch of texts that could be considered fundamental to science and which any library worth its salt ought to hold, eg On the Origin of the Species, what do you reckon these should be?
