1.In Search of Schrodinger s Cat: Quantum Physics and RealityIn Search of Schrödinger's Cat: Quantum Physics and Reality
from Bantam Books
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
I bought this book because of something that was said on "Big Bang Theory", the TV show. I was curious to find out what the differences might be between quantum mechanics and quantum physics.

I wanted something like this to fill in some discoveries in science and technology while reading some of the fiction of the 18th and 19th centuries such as Austen,Gaskell,George Eliot and also some nonfiction from the period.

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.95

Customer Review:
I agree with the majority of reviewers that this is an excellent book, making some very difficult concepts understandable to the layman. The book was published in 1992, and I bought the October 2007 edition. It is a pity that so much data in the book are outdated: Dark matter is hardly mentioned,... more info

Price: $10.87

Customer Review:
I've read alot of books about space, but this is the most detailed space book I've ever read. The part about time machines and black holes was confusing but very interesting. I had no idea it was possible to make a time machine, or is it? This book may not be right on everything but I trust it. I... more info

8.The Science of Philip Pullman s His Dark MaterialsThe Science of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials
from Laurel Leaf
Price: $5.99

Customer Review:
Fantasy for the sake of escapism is wonderful. Explanation of the same may become problematic. To the reader who enjoys escaping reality for fantasy, explanation for what otherwise has no reason is as inviting as the many hurtful "growing up" moments: e.g. when we learn that there is no Santa Claus... more info
