“What I really enjoyed is that it made it easy to see and understand the interconnectedness of all these scientific disciplines.”
Well put!
That’s exactly what I liked about that book. I’m always looking for books with this characteristic. When I was a kid in the seventies, I was especially fond of the Reference section of the library, laying out all these huge tomes of scholarly arcana (old school hyperlinking ftw).
For most of my 20s and 30s, I only read science books. Lately It’s been all historical stuff. Here are some recent faves that are available in audio book format:
The Outline of History by H. G. Wells
A Little History of Science by William F. Bynum
The Guns of August by Barbara W. Tuchman
The Frontiersman: A Narrative by Allan Eckert
Six Armies in Normandy by John Keegan
