I have noticed that writing about dinosaurs is also an evergreen topic
(because of new discoveries). I don't know if this is SF adjacent
non-fiction, but I think there is significant overlap.

I have always enjoyed non-fiction about subjects previously written
about by SF writers (for instance I finished a book on the Voyager
missions recently) but if somebody can post about Planet of the Apes
and not get flamed then you should be OK.

In support I offer the fact that I have read Robert T. Bakker's
_Raptor Red_, a novel about a year in the life of a utahraptor.
Not a good example for the evergreen character of the topic, though,
as _Raptor Red_ was published during the dinomania that followed
the success of _Jurassic Park_.

A catchy title for some _gardener_ in the fields of human folly. I saw
what you did there!

But that is hardly a boast, as you make these things much too easy to
see. So I am beginning to suspect your taste in puns.

(As is _very_ well known, at least to me, "Fads and Fallacies in the
Name of Science" is the title of a book by Martin Gardner.)
