There are also a ton of good historical books on almost every major milestone in physics - a few I enjoyed:
The Clockwork Universe by Edward Dolnick
Faraday, Maxwell, and the Electric Field by Nancy Forbes
E=MC2 by David Bodanis
Quantum by Manjit Kumar
The Big Bang by Simon Singh
I can't link you to any histories of biology or chemistry, sorry, those aren't my areas of knowledge.
Not exactly "how to be a man", but general non-fiction I've really enjoyed:
Benjamin Hoff - The Tao of Pooh -- Sounds childish perhaps, but its a fantastic read. Worth the time.
http://www.amazon.com/Tao-Pooh-Benjamin-Hoff/dp/0140067477
Biography of E=MC2 -- Einstein's famous equasion, told biography style. Great read, not too "sciency".
http://www.amazon.com/mc2-Biography-Worlds-Famous-Equation/dp/0425181642
Tim O'Brian - If I Die in a combat zone -- http://www.amazon.com/If-Die-Combat-Zone-Ship/dp/0767904435
Also, military field guides / training manuals are non classified and excellent resources for any sort of camping / survival you may do. Most surplus type stores carry them, or you can download and print your own!
A Biography of E=MC^2
For some lighter reading.. How about The Grip of Gravity and E=mc^2 ? These two books are pretty cool. After reading E=mc^2 , Michael Faraday became one of my favorite physicists by far. And The Grip of Gravity is just awesome.
You should be able to find both of these at a local Half Price Books or something like it.

for those of you who want a great layman's explanation of E=MC^2 delivered through some pretty fascinating stories check out E=MC^2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation by David Bodanis
it is very good
