Books I enjoyed

On: Bringing Science and Math Into Writing?

I'd suggest "My Family and Other Animals" or "Birds Beasts and Relatives" by Gerald Durrell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Durrell. They are funny and great for inspiring interest in biology and nature.

Also:
"Never Cry Wolf" by Farley Mowat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farley_Mowat
"Dune" by Frank Herbert http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Herbert
"My Side of the Mountain" by Jean George http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Side_of_the_Mountain
"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatchet_(novel)
