In the Beginning...Was the Command Line [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader]
by Neal Stephenson
|
|
This is "the Word"--one man's word, certainly--about the art (and artifice) of the state of our computer-centric existence. And considering that the "one man" is Neal Stephenson, "the hacker Hemingway" (Newsweek)--acclaimed novelist, pragmatist, seer, nerd-friendly philosopher, and nationally bestselling author of groundbreaking literary works (Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, etc., etc.)--the word is well worth hearing. Mostly well-reasoned examination and partial rant, Stephenson's In the Beginning ... more info>> (Published: 2008)

|

 The first accessible book on a theory of physics that explains the relationship between the particles and forces that make up our universe. For decades, physicists have been fascinated with the possibility that two seemingly independent aspects of our world--matter and force--may in fact be intimately connected and inseparable facets of nature. This idea, known as supersymmetry, is considered by many physicists to be one of the most beautiful and elegant theories ever conceived. According to thi... more info>>

Reinventing Gravity: A Physicist Goes Beyond Einstein [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader]

Einstein's gravity theory--his general theory of relativity--has served as the basis for a series of astonishing cosmological discoveries. But what if, nonetheless, Einstein got it wrong? Since the 1930s, physicists have noticed an alarming discrepancy between the universe as we see it and the universe that Einstein's theory of relativity predicts. There just doesn't seem to be enough stuff out there for everything to hang together. Galaxies spin so fast that, based on the amount of visible matt... more info>>

Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader]
by Oliver Sacks

Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language does--humans are a musical species. Oliver Sacks's compassionate, compelling tales of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions have fundamentally change... more info>>

The Origin of Species [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader]
by Charles Darwin
|
|
Perhaps the most readable and accessible of the great works of the scientific imagination, The Origin of Species sold out on the day it was published in 1859. Theologians quickly labeled Charles Darwin the most dangerous man in England, and, as the Saturday Review noted, the uproar over the book quickly 'passed beyond the bounds of the study and lecture-room into the drawing-room and the public street.' Yet after reading it, Darwin's friend and colleague T. H. Huxley had a different reaction: 'H... more info>> (Published: 2000)

The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics [Secure eReader (recommended)/Microsoft Reader]

What happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed it did-and in doing so put at risk everything we know about physics and the fundamental laws of the universe. Most scientists didn't recognize the import of Hawking's claims, but Leonard Susskind and Gerard t'Hooft realized the threat, and responded with a counterattack that changed the course of physics.

 The author of Zero looks at the messy history of the struggle to harness fusion energy. When weapons builders detonated the first hydrogen bomb in 1952, they tapped into the vastest source of energy in our solar system--the very same phenomenon that makes the sun shine. Nuclear fusion was a virtually unlimited source of power that became the center of a tragic and comic quest that has left scores of scientists battered and disgraced. For the past half-century, governments and research teams have... more info>>
