Chariots of the Gods?: Unsolved Mysteries of the Past
from Turtleback Books: A Division of Sanval
Price: $12.00

Customer Review:

All I can say is the views are breath taking but the movie was made in the mid 1970's and I wonder if the author ever read Thor Heyerdahl's "Aku Aku" whereupon 12 men using ropes & two logs managed to raise a 25-30 ton statue onto a pedastal about 4-5' high.I personaaly don't like the fact he... more info

Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design
from HarperOne
Price: $17.20

Customer Review:

These reviews illustrate a cardinal rule of using Amazon's reviews: check out the reviewers to determine if they have a bias. In this case, you will find that most of these five-star reviewers make it their business to give five stars to intelligent design screeds. Perhaps not surprisingly, they... more info

Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age
from Hay House
Price: $14.00

Customer Review:

Several others have already quite eloquently pointed out mathematical errors in the Time Code Formula and errors dealing with Nostradamus so I won't go there. I would like to point out many scientific errors the author has made.
However, in reference to Nostradamus, why are his aimless rantings... more info

The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory
from W.W. Norton & Co.
Price: $10.00

Customer Review:

Back in the early seventies I loved physics, but left it for a career working at cutting edge software R&D. I purchased this book to get up to date in the world of physics. I was very disappointed reading this book. The other did a valient attempt to introduce the reader to the subject without... more info

The Demon-Haunted World
from Nova Audio Books
Price: $29.99

Customer Review:

The locus classicus of the modern skeptical movement is arguably Carl Sagan's last book, "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark". I figured it's about time I read it. Hopefully this isn't too blasphemous, but I wasn't as impressed with it as many others seem to be. For one thing,... more info

Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos
from Anchor
Price: $8.88

Customer Review:

You may not know how to pronounce the authors name but you will recognize him from the UNIVERSE series.
For anyone who is interested in these types of subjects, Kaku has the great ability to take complex material and present it in ways for us to understand (even if we don't have a physics... more info

The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality
from Knopf
Price: $8.93

Customer Review:

I read with relish Greene's earlier work, The Elegant Universe, and had the experience of learning something new in almost every sentence. The Fabric of the Cosmos lived up to the precedent set in its predecessor. Rather than merely repeat information in The Elegant Universe, it deepened my... more info

Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men
from Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc.
Price: $50.40

Customer Review:

I had already read Leonard Sax's book "Why Gender Matters". He is easy to read with important information for any parent or teacher of boys. I've been telling everyone I know about the books and hoping this will precipitate some much needed changes in public education.

NightWatch: A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe
from Firefly Books
Price: $19.18

Customer Review:

If you are a beginner star gazer like me and know nothing about stars and planetary location, this book will guide you to open up your eyes to the wonderful unknown world. It is detailed but will not overwhelm you with information like so many other books out there. I highly recommend to others.

A Briefer History of Time
from Bantam
Price: $5.90

Customer Review:

I really enjoyed the book entitled A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking. I would rate this book as a 4 out of 5 stars. Stephen was able to expound on the technical concepts of the physics in nature throughout time. He explains things from the beginning starting with why people thought the... more info
