New Real Science Genre created

At Our Book Club, we have created a new genre for science books - don't worry it isn't too nerdy or scary.  The genre aims at focusing on books that explain in laymans terms of course, some of the questions that we puzzle over i.e. why does E=MC2?

Check out our Real Science page.
