Perhaps "the" pop science" book is _One, Two, Three...Infinity_, by

I'm pretty sure I've read something or other by Gamow at one time or
another.....but not at all sure what it was. Anyway, looking him up
led to Hoyle, Hubble, Crick, the Kalam cosmological argument, Hume,
empiricism, Boswell, Johnson, dictionaries.......

An altogether delightful evening's romp through the Elysian/illusion/
allusion/elision(no mention of the Aleutians thus far) fields.

Thanks.

Also pretty good are almost any 'splain books by Isaac Asimov.

Certainly among the most readable of polymaths.

cheers
