I would love to see a small, maybe opinionated list of science books, each, in one volume, giving a full overview of the field in an approachable way, like:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Science_of_Life

but of course state-of-the-art.

It would be a nice collection and a chance to at least get a general overview over all of science, and discover just how patchy my knowledge really is :)



Some of the Foo: A Very Short Introduction books are worth reading. Not on average to me, though I'm picky.
