**The Life of Birds, by David Attenborough**
Attenborough’s writing is similarly eloquent to his narration.
**Hrdý Budžes, by Irena Dousková**
Satirical novel about 1970s normalization in Czechoslovakia, written as a schoolgirl’s diary. It’s very funny.

A curious essay on mathematics, with a CP Snow’s foreword which is very old-fashioned at times.
