Science

[close] Dear Readers, Welcome to the UAE science book club! My name is Mareya Khouri, an Emirati poet, philanthropist and aspiring astronaut. As part of my work inspiring young girls in the UAE to pursue fields in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), I have decided to create this book club as a platform for aspiring scientists and science enthusiasts to connect and learn together. As a science nerd myself, I have read as many books and essays about different science topics as I can get my hands on and have fully immersed myself in the subject.There is so much amazing stuff out there! Complex, inspiring, thought-provoking and what might seem impossible to the average reader! I’ve been discovering so much that, at times, I’ve felt like my head was about to explode. I want to share my love for science by encouraging you all to read books you might not pick up at a bookstore, books that will stimulate your intellectual curiosity. The plan is to select and read a book every month, then discuss the work during the month’s last week (to give everyone time to read it!). I will post some questions/quotes to get things started, but I would love for this to grow into an open discussion with and between you all. If you're up to the challenge, pease join up and participate. Everyone is welcome. I would be honoured! Mareya

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place for readers to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series – which includes the non-fiction books Genius Intelligence, Medical Industrial Complex & Bankrupting the Third World – by James Morcan & Lance Morcan.

[close] An inclusive reading environment, Bookdragon Society is a group that focuses on diversifying fellow bookish people through multiple genres and challenging reading potential by enhancing subject-matter interest. Everyone is welcome to join regardless of reading goals or preferences!

[close] Over the years, we've asked every woman we've given a scholarship "What are you reading?". Partly because we're constantly looking for ideas and partly because we think it's important and insightful information. This is a compilation of suggested reads by past scholars, as well as things we liked too!
