The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:

I enjoy the reading. I have used Kuhn as a reference throughout grad school to justify my thoughts on leadership paradigm shifts. Kuhn's contribution had four positive elements: a) Mechanism of crisis: precipitation and resolution, b) Analogy of the historicity of science with evolution c) that... more info

The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics
from Little, Brown and Company
Price: $18.47

Customer Review:

The most important paragraph in this book is on page 422:
"Sceptics will point out that everything I have told you about the quantum properties of black holes -- from entropy, temperature, and Hawking radiation to Black Hole Complementarity and the Holographic Principle -- is pure theory, with... more info

Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel
from Doubleday
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:

It is difficult to realize that a book about parallel universes, pyschic phenomenon, faster than the light travel, etc., could be humdrum boring - but this book proves it is possible to write a boring book about such topics. This was a superficial, half-hearted review of these topics written perhaps... more info

The Field Updated Ed: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe
from Harper Paperbacks
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

Being an Osteopath I thought it might have been a book on how one might be able to perceive the field. Unfortunately it is more about evidence for the field which is more theoretical than I had hoped for.

A Briefer History of Time
from Bantam
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:

I purchased the audio version of the book; complex topic made amazingly simple in a superb narration.

The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality
from Vintage
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

I am not a physicist, though I can honestly say that physics is perhaps one of the most intriguing and exciting aspects of the human quest for knowledge. I have been an ardent amateur student of astrophysics and theoretical physics since high school and there is no better author on the subject than... more info

The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory
from Vintage
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:

Don't know much about new physics? This is stuff I didn't get the first time around--they weren't discussing it back then since all of us were running from the dinosaurs....
Anyway, Greene has a good descriptive edge that will keep you reading even if the subject of string theory and quantum... more info

Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism
from Ulysses Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

I found the the first 6 chapters slightly disappointing. Not because they aren't well-written or thoughtful, but because they are pretty basic stuff for non-theists who have a lot of exposure to these arguments.
However, chapters 7-10 are some of the most outstanding arguments and writings I've... more info

Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos
from Anchor
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:

Ranges further and is more accessible than Brian Greene's "Elegant Universe." A must read for anyone who is interested in the _very big questions_.
