Indulge your brain in infinity or astrophysics, laboratories filled with plants, a (silicon) valley filled with dreams, and an imaginary map of the atom. These tomes prove that reading about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) doesn’t have to be rote or formulaic—and learning about STEM doesn’t have to stop once you leave school. Take a look at these titles online, or visit our display at The Strand Bookstore in New York City.
