Outros livros bem antigos que est\u00e3o nesta lista dos melhores s\u00e3o os de Andreas Versalius (1543), Nicolau Copernico (1543), Galileu (1632) e Robert Hooke (1665). Daqueles que foram inclu\u00eddos em mais de uma das listas consultadas, 15 livros ganharam duas indica\u00e7\u00f5es, tr\u00eas livros receberam 3 indica\u00e7\u00f5es e dois ganharam 4 indica\u00e7\u00f5es. Embora o assunto de v\u00e1rios livros seja f\u00e1cil de ser deduzido pelo t\u00edtulo, o tema da maioria \u00e9 dif\u00edcil de descobrir. De minha parte, confesso que li apenas um: O Gene Ego\u00edsta (The Selfish Gene), de Richard Dawkins. Pessoalmente eu teria inclu\u00eddo \u201cO Desenvolvimento do Pensamento Biol\u00f3gico\u201d (The Growth of Biological Thought) por Ernst Mayr, que \u00e9 uma obra gigantesca (mais de 1100 p\u00e1ginas). Tamb\u00e9m gostei muito dos livros \u201cSingul<br \/>\narities \u2013 Landmarks on the Pathways of Life\u201d, por Christian de Duve, e \u201cThe Origins of Life\u201d por John Maynard Smith e E\u00f6rs Szathm\u00e1ry. Ambos apresentam excelentes argumentos sobre o surgimento e o desenvolvimento da vida no planeta Terra.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blogs.unicamp.br\/quimicaviva\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/218\/2011\/08\/micrographia150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Uma amiga me disse certa vez que sua ang\u00fastia era saber que iria morrer sem conseguir ler tudo o que gostaria.

Existe um livrinho chamado \u201cSabedoria Chinesa\u201d, organizado por Dagmar Von Berg (Editora Pensamento, 1984), de frases ou ditados da filosofia chinesa.
