| | 1. |  | Icarus at the Edge of Time
from Knopf
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
My sons (8yo and 11yo) both enjoyed this book, and I enjoyed reading it to them. The story had a lot of neat "jumping off points" into discussions about the original story of Icarus, space travel, Einsteinian physics, etc. The pictures were great as well.
If I didn't have kids to read it to, I... more info

| | 3. |  | A Brief History of Time
from Bantam
Price: $12.24
Customer Review:
I felt like there wasn't enough information in Hawking's explanations to really understand the concepts. So many times the fragments of information provided left me with a vague idea and a lot of questions.
For instance, Hawking writes "a matter particle, such as an electron or a quark, emits a... more info

| | 5. |  | A Briefer History of Time
from Bantam
Price: $12.24
Customer Review:
Excellent presentation of complex scientific theories. Stephen Hawking knows how to extract core principals and shape them into digestible morsels for his readers to consume and enjoy. The material is an update from his earlier Brief History of Time, and has the same cast of characters.

| | 6. |  | The Fabric of the Cosmos (Penguin Celebrations)
from Penguin Books Ltd
Customer Review:
I am a layman who has been curious about the concept of Sting Theory for some time. I found Greene's book a window into the soul of the universe. He has helped me comprehend (to my limits) the fabric of the cosmos. I echo the other rave reviews and will go back to this book time and time again.more info

| | 7. |  | Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA
from Feral House
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
Highly technical, but ultimately well worth the purchase price... however, it raises a host of new questions regarding NASA's TRUE purposes behind missions to both the moon and Mars.
Obviously thoroughly researched, this book is quite frankly critical of NASA, and will surely create doubts in... more info

| | 8. |  | Behold a Pale Horse
from Light Technology Publications
Price: $25.00
Customer Review:
This guy is freaking nuts. Although he synthesizes a great deal of information in his book, most of his conclusions do not logically follow from the data collected. Even if you believe what he's shoveling up until the chapter on UFOs and Aliens, once you get there, it is pretty hard to believe if... more info

| | 10. |  | The Holographic Universe
from HarperCollins Publishers Ltd
Customer Review:
I first read this book about ten years ago. It was recommended by my daughter after I went into a time of life when I was really interested in spiritual matters (I was just over 60 then). It made a difference in my thinking then and recently my wife and I started reading it again, together. She had... more info
