The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe
Theodore Gray
Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2009
My husband swooned over this book.
We saw this book on a table at a major book chain. He picked it up, flipped through it and put it down. He did this about 3 times and practically begged to get it (as if I would say 'no' to getting a book!)(and no, he does not need my permission). You'd have thought I ...

Bantam, 1998
Great Read for Everybody
One of my favourite books is A Brief History of Time, written by Stephen Hawking. This book is famous like its author. Its wonder lies in the fact that the forefront of physics is portrayed in laymen's terms. Thus the theories behind quantum mechanics, relativity, ...

Essential For the Lay Person
Parts of this book weren't easy reading for me, but on the whole I found the book's in-depth explanations and desciptions well within my reach. A great read for anyone insterested in string theory, perhaps the most important theory of our time.
And yes, the book is ...

NightWatch: A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe
Terence Dickinson
Firefly Books, 2006
The reviews say it all, for any beginner (and even interm.) this book is a must!
The reviews say it all on this book. It gives you a great analysis of amateur stargazing and telescoping. I found the best thing was the back charts. He includes 20 charts of the constellations and what an amateur stargazer can expect to see within each constellation ...

It arrived in great condition even though it was sold as being used, ...

5 Star General
I really loved this simplistic straight forward book written for a fifth grader!!! Classic. I suggest you make it more readily available for the general public and elementary schools for book-a-thon reading in multi-languages.
