The Geek Atlas - Google Preview - O'Reilly Media. This is a fun book.
It's full of short (2-3 page) sections describing locations where great science has taken place (128 of them). The sections are grouped by country and include something for everyone; Radio Telescopes, Fermilab and Issac Newton are all here (you expected them, right?) But so are entries for the Eiffel Tower, Westminster Abby, and the Escher Museum.
Between the sections are fascinating entries telling about the science relative to each place; How does a Radio Telescope work? The Definitive Guide. Dive Into Python.
