The Curious World of Seahorses: the Life and Lore of a Marine Marvel, by Till Hein proved to be an interesting read. Sometimes so interesting I couldn't put it down, other times more like a text book! It's all here ... science, genetics, habitat, all the varieties in shape, size, color ... as well as folk lore and mythology. More pictures would have been nice, I kept my tablet handy to look those up. All in all, not a bad read.

The Address Book: What Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power, by Deirdre Mask came as a recommendation from Kiwi. I found it a bit dull in parts (Kiwi didn't) ;-) but overall an interesting read. No one had an address at first, it wasn't needed, but as towns grew into cities, and a postal service was created they became necessary. And, of course, necessary for things like bills and taxes! Learn how streets are named, and how that changes, and how the very wealthy can actually buy an address to make them look even more important. (Which can backfire when emergency responders can't find it because in reality, it doesn't exist).
