Norton & Co., 2003 Contemplating Reductionist String Theory in Light of the Chaos in My Life (A Haiku for Brian Greene) Am I but a string? A reductionist's plaything? No, I'm a frayed knot! Old jokes are the best jokes Great book. Makes sense. I can read it. I can understand it.             Examkrackers: 1001 Questions in MCAT in Physics Jonathan Orsay, Jordan Zaretsky Osote Publishing, 2001 The best Physics problem set for the MCAT ......PERIOD! This book is one of the two books I focused on for my MCAT. I used this book and the 1001 Chemistry questions to "freshen up" on my weak areas. Examkrackers 1001 Questions in MCAT Chemistry (Examkrackers) These books are NOT designed to be worked all the way ...             The Field Updated Ed: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe Lynne Mctaggart Harper Paperbacks, 2008 Great Science Writing! As usual, I'm late to the party on an epic work such as this. Don't let the materialist/reductionists fool you, like any other form of dogmatic thought (I wonder if those 2 words are in fact mutually exclusive - i.e., "dogmatic" & "thought"?) religious or scientific, ...             Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, ... Michio Kaku Anchor, 2009 Is anything impossible? Is anything impossible? Maybe not is the answer according to physicist Michio Kaku. In this short accessible work Kaku spends just as much time quoting from Star Trek and Twilight Zone episodes as he does from hard science in advancing the point that perhaps our ...             Einstein: His Life and Universe Walter Isaacson Simon & Schuster, 2008 The best book I've read in years Isaacson's writing style makes us feel like we know Einstein as he goes through his life. If you like Physics, Relativity, this won't be a dumbed down version. Indeed Walter Isaacson has effectively enticed the biography reader and the science reader interested.             A Briefer History of Time Stephen Hawking, Leonard Mlodinow Bantam, 2008 Stephen Hawkins A briefer History of Time. I knew Stephen Hawkins from his scientific reputation, a physicist of international renown, who prevailed over serious illness most of his life. This did nor inhibit him from exercising his brilliant mind to the full. I was NOT disappointed by his latest book, an ...             Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character) Richard P. Feynman, Ralph Leighton W.W. Norton & Co., 1997 Good work, Mr. Feynman Most often when we say that we "laughed" at this book or this movie, we mean it figuratively: we found it funny, we smiled, and so on. Not this book. This is the first time in a long while that a book has made me chuckle, snort, and laugh loudly enough for my family ...             A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations Daniel Fleisch Cambridge University Press, 2008 What the Schaum's outline of Electromagnetics should have been This is an outstanding short little book on Maxwell's equations and what they mean, both qualitatively and quantitatively. It is a good book to go through if you have just finished a course on EM, or you can use it as a supplement as you go through such a course. The ...             Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness Bruce Rosenblum, Fred Kuttner Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 Best I've read on the Subject Back in the day, I read all of the popularizations of QM: Davies, Gribbon, et al. The best of that bunch was Nick Herbert's "Quantum Reality", which I have highly recommended for some 15 years and running: I still highly recommend that book. However, this one-ups ...             A Brief History of Time Stephen Hawking Bantam, 1998 This is a real Gem!!! I loved this book, and my kids loved the rich illustrations. This book takes an extremely complex topic and tries to break it down to where even i can understand it. We learned so much from this. Thanks for publishing it. We would buy it again.             Physics for Future Presidents: The Science Behind the Headlines Richard A. Muller W.W. Norton & Co., 2008 Physics for Future Presidents Excellent reading. I am a Chemical Engineer with 56 years of experience, but I still learned a lot of practical facts and data information on currently discussed matters regarding energy and energetics. I highly recommend its reading.             The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality Brian Greene Vintage, 2005 Mind-blowing This book is a hurricane of fresh air, putting previous general-audience books about physics to shame. It covers an enormous range of topics, and takes you deeper into each area than you thought you could go, carefully holding your hand the entire way. Having ...             Linked: How Everything Is Connected to Everything Else and What It Means Albert-Laszlo Barabasi Plume, 2003 Good Pop. Sci Book I first came across Barabasi through a colleague who works in bioinformatics. Having read some of his technical papers, I was unaware that he had a popular book on his work. I was pleasantly surprised by the clarity of style. This is an excellent introduction to ...             Cracking the SAT Physics Subject Test, 2009-2010 Edition (College Test Preparation) Princeton Review Princeton Review, 2009 The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SAT Physics Subject Test is very different from earning straight A?s in school. We don?t try to teach you everything there is to know about physics?only the techniques and information you?ll need to maximize your score. In Cracking the SAT Physics Subject Test , we?ll teach you how to think like the ...             The Holographic Universe Michael Talbot Harper Perennial, 1992 A short commentary This book is referenced by David Icke and I purchased it largely because he spoke to it in his many taped dialogues. I regard the book as being current on the new physics and its relationship to the body. We are more than merely 5 senses and we are capable on many ...          products you might be interested in search for books consciousness, examkrackers, exploration, preparation, superstrings, teleportation      toavi.com    web randomly chosen VHS: Consuming Passions [VHS]
