Simple explanations for profoundly complex topics
Anyone who has completed advanced level courses in physics in high school and with a penchant for physics, will find this book a great read.

A Briefer History of Time65 reviews
Stephen Hawking, Leonard Mlodinow

Bantam, 2008

Non-Fiction for Science Fiction Lovers
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. If only he wrote fiction! 		  
  







  
  
A Brief History of Time352 reviews
Stephen Hawking

Bantam, 1998

Transport yourself into possibility.
This book absolutely recreates the wonder I felt looking at the stars as a child. Stephen Hawking has a knack like no other I have read in the science world of transporting the reader to a realm of humbling amazement and possibility. Pure genius bubbling over with dry humor that will never fail to raise a smile as your senses burn with curiosity for our elegant and beautiful universe. I've had ... 		  
  







  
  
The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God215 reviews
Lee Strobel

Zondervan, 2005

A Great Case for a Creator and against Evolution and Naturalism
This book makes a great case for three important ideas. First, science can not tell us, and is unlikely to be able to tell us, how the universe began. A Creator who transcends time, space, and matter is the most reasonable cause of the "Big Bang." Similarly, science can not tell us, and it unlikely to be able to tell us, how life began. A Creator who made DNA, the coding for all life, is the most ... 		  
  







  
  
The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics21 reviews
Leonard Susskind

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

General Relativity Meets Quantum Mechanics
There is a lot of physics contained in this excellent book - modern, cutting-edge theoretical physics, that is. In 24 chapters and almost 450 pages, the author guides the reader through a maze of seemingly contradictory scientific arguments in order to resolve an important issue in the physics of black holes: whether information is forever lost to the universe after it has passed through a black ... 		  
  







  
  
Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos57 reviews
Michio Kaku

Anchor, 2006

Very Easy to Understand
I don't have much physics backgroud but found this book very easy to comprehend and easy to read also. The information is astonishing. 		  
  







  
  
The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory505 reviews
Brian Greene

Vintage, 2000

Excellent resource for the layman....
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 physics gets a little too deep. Even if you've had physics 1 and 2 in college, I guarantee that those ... 		  
  







  
  
The Field Updated Ed: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe125 reviews
Lynne Mctaggart

Harper Paperbacks, 2008

Underpinning the future
If you are interested in the future (and we all should be) read this book. It is one of those books that makes you realise that everything you were ever taught at school, and a lot of what you learned after school, was pretty much a waste of time, because life is simply not the way they said (and are still saying today). The Field provides a wealth of scientific evidence that supports a view of ...

The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness25 reviews
Carl Johan Calleman, Jose Arguelles

Bear & Company, 2004

The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness
This book is very technical and takes a while to read. However, the information is important enough to take the time to read the book. 		  
  







  
  
The View from the Center of the Universe: Discovering Our Extraordinary Place in the Cosmos38 reviews
Joel R. Primack, Nancy Ellen Abrams

Riverhead Hardcover, 2006

The View from the Center of the Universe
This is my second purchase of this book as I bought one to share. The video which comes with the book is also worthy to be shared. 		  
  







  
  
A Brief History of Everything99 reviews
Ken Wilber

Shambhala, 2007

amazed at wilber's ability to turn the dense lucid
wilber is worth all the hype: he is a true pioneer of the emerging phase of planetary evolution. this book is a great primer. here he masterfully weaves multiple threads from hugely diverse sources; from science to mysticism, from history to philosophy. the result is stunningly precise thoughts yet infused with moments of poetical flares, and a myriad of insights! at ... 		  
  







  
  
The Science of God: The Convergence of Scientific and Biblical Wisdom113 reviews
Gerald L. Schroeder

Broadway Books, 1998

Wow
I read this book years ago, but I still think it is the best book I've ever read. This book is very interesting. I'm not sure that I agree with everything in it, but the point seems to be to get you thinking outside of our current time. This book is very much outside of the box and I loved it! I recommend this book to everyone. 		  
  







  
  
Why the Universe Is the Way It Is4 reviews
Hugh Ross

Baker Books, 2008

Answers to atheists objections about why God created the universe as He did
In a slight departure from their usual books on a testable creation model, Hugh Ross (Reasons To Believe) takes on the big "why" questions about the universe and why God created in the way He did. This book represents a continuation of Dr. Ross' previous book, "Creation As Science" with more emphasis on how biblical theology fits with what we know about the characteristics of the universe and ... 		  
  







  
  
The Universe in a Nutshell180 reviews
Stephen William Hawking

Bantam, 2001

Accessible Reading Coupled With Humor and Illustrations
On the cover of Stephen Hawking's The Universe in a Nutshell you can find, surprise, a picture of the universe in a nutshell. This cover illustration is typical of both the sense of humor Hawking employs and the helpful illustrations found in his work. Hawking's book is written for the average person who is interested in the science that has today's most educated and intelligent minds talking. ... 		  
  







  
  
Universe48 reviews
Robert Dinwiddie, Philip Eales, ...

DK ADULT, 2005

Gorgeously Made Book!
I just received my copy yesterday and I have to say I much more than pleasantly surprised. The book doesn't seem extra special when browsing through the info about it on Amazon or looking at it through Amazon's "Look Inside" feature. However, I bought the book anyway due to the strong reviews and to quench my yearning for a nice guide to the universe. Boy was I takan aback when I got my hands ... 		  
  







  
  
The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe160 reviews
Roger Penrose

Vintage, 2007

Not the usual watered down pop physics book.
This book took some time to read! In my opinion, if you want to understand current work in physics, you need to have the basics under your belt. Roger Penrose starts with the basics and works all the way through at a very challenging pace. He introduces the necessary math in a very straight forward, easy to understand way in the first few chapters and they were fascinating! After that, it gets ... 		  
  







  
  
Cosmos159 reviews
Carl Sagan

Ballantine Books, 1985

read what you can of it, but READ it!
This is an incredible book, even if it is dated. I am a words person, not numbers, so when Sagan got into a lot of equations and chemistry, I had to kind of skim over those parts. I never could have understood them, and if I'd tried to force myself to, I probably would have gotten frustrated and gave up on the book. So I stuck with the parts (happily, that was most of it) I could absorb and ... 		  
  







  
  
Turn Left at Orion: A Hundred Night Sky Objects to See in a Small Telescope--and How to Find Them53 reviews
Guy Consolmagno, Dan M. Davis

Cambridge University Press, 2000

THE book to start with
For the beginning stargazer, without some sort of guide (either a knowledgable person or a great book), a new telescope is all but useless. Even computerized "go-to" telescopes are surprisingly disappointing; sure, they'll take you straight to the sights, but they won't tell you what magnification to use, or what you're looking for, or whether the thing you're looking for might be too dim for ...
