My favorite is Isaac Asimov: "Published in 9 of the 10 Dewey Decimal System categories"

His scientific writings for lay people are amazing(World of Carbon comes to mind). He could string everything together so well.

I love World of Carbon (and it's companion volume, World of Nitrogen)! I've been trying to get the rights to republish both with modern annotations, but I'm apparently not a big enough publisher for William Morris Endeavor (literary management for Asimov's estate) to respond to. It's sad, since both books are out of print.
