from Broadway
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I'm not normally a "deep" reader, so I really appreciated Mr. Bryson's effort to make these subjects more accessible. In fact, after reading this, I was inspired to take another look at some of the more challenging titles in this genre. Therein is the real value of... more info

from Plume/Penguin
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
This was a fascinating book more so because I am a deafened adult. I had my memories when I lost all hearing in 1977. Experiences I've had since seem weird to me because I remember. Now I understand why. This is a very informative book from both the music lover and indifferent listener points of... more info

6.Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASADark Mission: The Secret History of NASA
from Feral House
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
This story is not just interesting, it's fascinating; and it is also credible. However, the authors have chosen to present their arguments in a format that is evocative of tabloid yellow journalism. In doing so, they have undercut their intended effect: to bring serious consideration to what may be... more info

7.Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and SexBonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex
from W. W. Norton
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
You think you know that much about sex is weird and you've heard it all before until you read this book. You learn some, the footnotes, too, are educational. The author is ever-present; this is written much from a personal perspective. That's, of course, intentional and refreshing up to a point. One... more info

This an important primer for non-science types (i.e. those of us who avoided the sciences, especially physics, in colleges and elsewhere like the plague, but still have lots of opinions about energy and international policy, etc.) - nicely organized, clearly delivered, thought provoking, good... more info

If you have ever wondered to yourself what happens to bodies when they die, this book offers that and more. Much more.
