1.The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate TheoryThe Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $13.57

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

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

3.The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum MechanicsThe 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:
If you are a fan of Black Hole theory, you have to read this book. There is enough intrigue here to keep you turning the pages, and the physics primer on Black Holes, Quantum Mechanics and Relativity is very approachable.
This is not an in-depth book on the physics of Black Holes - on the... more info

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

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

5.Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASADark 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

from Firefly Books

Customer Review:
An absolutely wonderful book; however, the numerous printing imperfections encountered (odd smudges, smears, and stains) have significantly detracted from the reading experience.
The book states that it was printed in China and it shows--really bad for a new book.
Perhaps whoever printed... more info

10.An Anthropologist On Mars: Seven Paradoxical TalesAn Anthropologist On Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales
from Knopf

Customer Review:
Though I wouldn't recommend reading every single one of Sacks's books, because there's a lot of overlap, this is another good one with some fascinating, readable stories. Anyone interested in how the mind works and how it may NOT work should read it.
