Review:pictures are great, but the words.... The limited vocabulary makes it nigh unreadable. I just cant get past it, it feels like I am being talked down to. I should have investigated more before I bought it, it is not what I expected. I expected the wordy wit of XKCD and a more through examination of those rather neat informative images he sometimes makes in his webcomic. Read more

Review:To describe this book in one word would be ...fascinating! Truly fascinating! I came into this book thinking it was going to be talking about how we believe in demons and such. I wasn't prepared for all that i got out of Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World. I am glad that i got the chance to read such an intriguing book. I understand where Sagan is coming from when he says that we are leaning way too much on Pseudoscience. Science seems to me to be the framework that we all need. Sci... Read more

Review:This is the first math book I picked up since I left college with a M.Sc in Math 23 years ago. It reinvigorates my propensity towards mathematics. Simon Singh has the thrill of drawing readers like me, who have left the academic community and entered the commercial world for such a long time, to rethink and substantiate our love of mathematics.
The history part of this book is particularly nostalgic to me when all the great names of mathematician flash pages over pages.
Though this ... Read more

Review:Science writing is not an easy job. And that is particularly why this book succeeds at two levels - content & lucidity.

Dr. Ramchandran is a very erudite man. But read this book & you'll find all the esoteric concepts of neuroscience are well within your grasp. Dr. Ramchandran visits & revisits the various parts of the brain & its interconnections in just about every discourse in this book, & by the time you're finished reading it, you'll have a good general idea of ho...

Review:i have girls and they have enjoyed this book so much! they have been non stop building better and bigger catupalts and weapons. hours they spend building being creative. i buy have bought this as gifts from now on and we went on to buy the part 2 of this book Read more

Review:With 5 hundred and thirty some pages of text, Greene certainly has a lot to say. Fortunately, most of it is very good - as others has said! Not as much on the Zero Point Field and applications as I had hoped but stayed relatively pretty free of New Age conversations. My only reason for 4 stars is not content but the size of the print, especially the notes. Use good light or glasses. Thumbs up. Read more

Review:In Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts About Alternative Medicine, Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst, M.D., set out to analyze the scientific literature on acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic, herbal medicine, and a host of other modalities of so-called alternative and complementary medicine. The book begins with a long, fascinating chapter about the history of medicine and the emergence of the modern, evidence-based approach to medicine--i.e., conventional, Western, or allopathic medicine. Th... Read more

Review:There's only one God, sorry guys. :-(
You know what all these Alien pushers forget or just don't know is that when God made man, aka Adam, he used 100% of his brain. So did all the kids he had. We use maybe 5-10% max! These people were ALL geniuses! Don't you think they could build all the cities of old! Read more

Review:This is the third book about Darwin and the evolution of the ideas about life's origins that I've read in the last year, and it's a really good complement to other books. It's precise, concise, and relatively easy to follow, given the complexity of the topics that are addressed. The work done by the scientists described in the book is amazing, and the conditions under which they do it are remarkable -- basically camping on an inhospitable island (inhospitable for humans) for months at a time.Read more

Review:This is another amazing read from the prolific Michio Kaku. He is an inspiration to all aspiring scientists, researchers and explorers! Read at your own peril as you will not view 'impossible' as so impossible after finishing this treaty to human ingenuity and imagination. It may prove to mind expanding for the cynical or pessimistic! Read more
