If you're looking for a basic grounding in science, get past the stigma and pick up a children's non-fiction book. Glenn Murphy's [[Science: Sorted! Evolution, Nature and Stuff by Glenn Murphy|Science: Sorted!]] books are particularly good, as is [[The Comic Strip History of Space by Sally Kindberg and Tracey Turner]]. For the next step, take a look at how scientific thinking evolved with [[The Ten Most Beautiful Experiments by George Johnson]], which will fill in a few more gaps in your knowledge. After that, dive in to [[Bad Science by Ben Goldacre]] and [[Why Does E Equal mc Squared? by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw]].
