Review:Too difficult for the average reader. If you're looking to learn about particle physics this is not the place to start. Although she tries
to explain with analogies and she does a very good job,the concepts are still too dificult for the layman. One needs to study and reread the book then perhaps some of the concepts can be grasped. Read more

Review:Professor Randall takes us on a journey from the outermost reaches of the universe to the unseen players of conventional and dark matter. It is a wonderfully layered work that peers into not only the elemental factors that make up our entire universe, but also the minds of the leading scientists covering a diversity of fields that helped to foster Professor Randall's work. Although we will continue to watch and see how the dark matter story plays out, this book certainly provides a very provoc... Read more

Review:Quantum Mechanics introduced and explained in layman's terms. Still an abstract concept to understand, but great insight to the research being done and that this left to do. Reads reasonably fast given the nature of the content. 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

Review:For those who may feel intimidated by the plethora of books on physics topics that contain an abundance of formulas and equations, fear not. Brian Greene has a real talent for communicating advanced concepts in simple terms. He is the type of teacher I would have loved to have in college. This book is well worth the price at many times what I paid. Read more

Review:The book gives a fairly good overview of Einstein, and touches on a wide range of issues. Interesting to learn on Einstein's thoughts on morality, religion, politics, as well as his personal approach to how he viewed the laws of the universe and approached problem solving. An enjoyable and interesting read on a very interesting person. Read more

Review:Step by step Feynman explains the relationship of light and matter. Starting with simplified models of reality, later on more tuned in to the real thing matters (no pun intended) become clear, even for a physics layperson like myself. Highly recommended reading! Read more

Review:I have heard of Feynman's collection of physics lectures for a long time and had intended reading them "one of these days" but never seemed to get to it. When a couple of friends and I formed a book club to discuss science and other types of expository prose, and one of them suggested this book, I decided "this is the day."

In reading Six Easy Pieces, I had a distinct sympathy with Feynman's undergraduate students. The man's mind must have run at the speed of light, ideas just firing of... Read more

Review:This book tells a frightening story in a readable style although fewer long lists would have not gone amiss. A central moral of this story is that decision makers mostly don't know what they don't know like all of us. But in the case of rust the cost is staggering. Read more

Review:This is a highly rated undergraduate textbook on classical mechanics. The best feature of this book is that it is written for a sophomore. It only expects students who have taken a year on general physics, and assumes the mathematical background of a typical sophomore. Since classical mechanics is the first serious course in the Physics curriculum, this book presents a very readable and logical book for the students at the right level. Other textbooks, for example Read more
