2.The Queen Mother: The Official BiographyThe Queen Mother: The Official Biography
from Random House Audio
Price: $19.19

Customer Review:
I always thought of the Queen Mother as a sweet old lady (because that was all she was during my lifetime) but after reading her "official" biography, I have much more respect for her. What a wondrous life she led.

from Pantheon
Price: $22.28

Customer Review:
This is a sort of appetizer for anyone interested in the cultural context of 19th century science. There are some howlers in the notes (for instance, the Doppler shift was *not* used to determine the distance between the Milky Way & the Andromeda Galaxy), so I wonder who was Holmes' scientific... more info

Graham Farmelo's biography of Dirac is a grand accomplishment--a fascinating account of a brilliant physicist who said practically nothing about himself.
