Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis
from Rodale Books
Price: $14.30

Customer Review:

I have not heard anything on NBC, CBS or ABC about the scientists who lied about global warming in thousands of emails. So, I did a search ["climate email"] on the internet at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS. ONLY CNN had an article [probably on because FOX had it]. NONE of the others had any... more info

The God Delusion
from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:

Dawkins begins by telling how many atheists, while not believing, approve of those who do. They begin with, "I'm an atheist, but..." and then go on to describe the benefits of religion in others. I am a Christian and no less so after reading this book. To me, the existence of God is plain as day. I... more info

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
from W.W. Norton & Co.
Price: $15.28

Customer Review:

What can I say about this book that has not been written already? It seams the author has a view then went out to write a book that proves this view. Interesting ideas but there is not one chapter that would prove his theory wrong. I find that odd that everything points to him being right.

The Selfish Gene
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $16.43

Customer Review:

This book is a classic and a masterpiece. I think that the majority of people misinterpret this book by the title of it. It could've easily also have been given the title 'The Altruistic Individual' for the majority of the book it discusses reciprocal altruisim, and why individuals are altruistic... more info

This book is all that it promises and more. It is a terrifically fun way to learn science! All instructions are there, hints for the most fun, safety, etc. The projects are definitely dangerous alone, so adult assistance is required for anyone under 18 who wants to tackle these projects. However,... more info

The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science
from Pantheon
Price: $21.35

Customer Review:

I loved this book. For me it captured some sense of the transition from "natural philosophy" (thinking about and speculating about nature) to science (making careful observations and weaving those observations into theories of nature). I loved how Richard Holmes brought some of the people involved... more info

The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World
from Free Press
Price: $8.61

Customer Review:

Let me start by saying that I am a McTaggart fan. However, if you've read a few books on quantum physics, you will already be familiar with the direction of the research anecdotes that fill the first 11 chapters of the book. Yes, we know by now our minds influence our realities. I don't need all... more info

This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession
from Plume/Penguin
Price: $6.90

Customer Review:

The title of this book is intriguing. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this book. I had such high hopes. The premise that music affects our brain like a drug is interesting, and I couldn't wait to see how the author would support such a claim. The author vacillates between interesting, insightful,... more info
