10: The Starship and the Canoe, Kenneth Brower

Touted as a double biography on the back cover, it's a collection of stories, mostly about George Dyson, Freeman Dyson's son. The author is openly more sympathetic to George than to Freeman and seems ignorant when it comes to Freeman's work. The science writing is fluff, making the canoe bits more interesting than the spaceship bits.
