This group is devoted to discussions on science books (nonfiction) that are intended for the general readers (laymen) and not the specialists. Authors who have written books under this genre include George Gamow, Steven Strogatz, Steven Levy, James Gleick, John Gribbin, Robert Jungk, Jean-Pierre Luminet, Hugh Aldersey-Williams, Isaac Asimov (yes, he has lots of nonfiction), Abraham Pais, Ronald Clark, Arthur Clarke (yup, he too has lots of nonfiction), Ed Regis, and David Kahn (mostly about cryptography) among others.
We may want to call these writers "science chronologists".
