I picked up Paolo Bacigalupi's Navola. I've loved all the sf books he's written, so I was curious to see how he would approach fantasy. So far, so good
Although I'd paused on it for a while, I've plunged back into The Secret History of Home Economics by Danielle Dreillnger. She doesn't shy away from the difficulties that were baked into some of the founders of this field (xenophobia and racism) and she also gives credit and the spotlight to women of color who were instrumental in bringing science into the home.
Finally, while I was in the New Books shelves at the library picking up Navola I saw The Globemakers: The Curious Story of an Ancient Craft by Peter Bellerby. It's about how he got into making how and what the process is like. I've always been interested in maps and mapmaking, so this sounds really interesting.
