Schneider Harper Paperbacks, 1995 Be ready to think! Artfully done with many interesting side notes. Easy to read, the book raises many deep questions. Well worth the price!             Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang14 reviews Paul J. Steinhardt, Neil Turok Doubleday, 2007 A reasoned explanation contrasting the theory of the Big Bang ENDLESS UNIVERSE offers a reasoned explanation contrasting the theory of the Big Bang, arguing that space and time which popular is seen as having jumped into being in a fireball actually is part of a cycle of huge collisions between our universe and a parallel world. This isn't just theory: developments in astronomy, physics and superstring theory support their 'cyclic universe' theory which ...             The Holographic Universe215 reviews Michael Talbot Harper Perennial, 1992 What is reality The more I read about spirituality, the more I keep coming back to this book. Our view of reality is just based upon our belief systems, which is based on what the accepted standards are at this time....and until I read this book, I accepted them just like most everyone else does. As an analytical person with college degrees in math, I found this book to be one of the most thought provoking, ...             Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism191 reviews David Mills Ulysses Press, 2006 Clear and simple Ever get into a debate with a creationist? This book explains the flaws in their arguments and logic in a clear, concise, and simple way. This book easily moves the debate from 'How can you NOT believe in God?" to "How CAN you believe in God?" without the belittling or browbeating typically found in this debate.             Einstein: His Life and Universe182 reviews Walter Isaacson Simon & Schuster, 2008 Universe Man Walter Isaacson's biography of Time's "Person of the 20th Century", Albert Einstein, welcomes us to the world of one of history's most famous scientists. So well known that his name is nearly a common noun synonym for genius, but still misunderstood on many fronts, Einstein emerges much more intact than most famous people subjected to a biography of this length. He wasn't a great father for most ...             George's Secret Key to the Universe23 reviews Stephen Hawking, Lucy Hawking Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2007 My Son's Favorite Book My six year old son read this book every night before bed (with my help) with an enthusiasm that he's never had for any other book. I was actually looking forward to each new chapter myself. Having read A Brief History and several other similar books, I thought this book did an amazing job at explaining the mechanics of black holes and the formation of the universe to young minds. (...and in a ...             The Universe Next Door: A Basic Worldview Catalog58 reviews James W. Sire InterVarsity Press, 2004 A Christian analysis of other presuppositions There are a number of reviewers who are under the impression that the only way to write a world-view catalog is from an objective position which has no bias at all. This is unfortunate, because the book tries to show us how everyone has a presuppositional bias: there is no objective middle ground from which to weigh up the others. This was required reading as a theology student, and I found ...             The Disappearance of the Universe: Straight Talk About Illusions, Past Lives, Religion, Sex, Politics, and ...453 reviews Gary Renard Hay House, 2004 disappearing universe VERY INTERESTING & ENLIGHTNING - WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT EVEN MORE IMPORTANCE IF WRITER HAD NOT INTERJECTED HIS PERSONAL POLITICAL VIEWS WHICH I FELT DETRACTED FROM SPIRITUAL ASPECTS - EVEN WITH THAT NEGATIVE, BOOK COULD BE OF GREAT VALUE TO MANY PEOPLE - BOOK SHOULD BE READ MORE THAN ONCE TO ENSURE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE WONDERFUL MESSAGE IT CONTAINS - IT'S A WINNER             The Last Book In The Universe103 reviews Rodman Philbrick Blue Sky Press, 2002 A Good Way to Go Out I had to read this book for a class. I picked it up, and four hours later, I was done. If this is the last book in the universe, it was a good one to end on.             The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory496 reviews Brian Greene W. W. Norton & Company, 2003 Full handy explanation of relativity, quantum mech., & Superstring theory I had seen this book before in a bookstore years ago, but I did not buy it. Big mistake. Greene explains the workings of the universe in down to earth terms (no small feat). Expand your brain a Large notch, if you are not scientifically inclined, as to the modern ideas circulating over the all important Superstring theory - without being a mathematician or physicist!             Across the Universe: Music from the Motion Picture1 review The Beatles, Various Hal Leonard, 2008 Don't bother... The songs aren't in the same keys as the movie. I specifically bought it with the hopes that "If I Fell" would be in the same key that Evan Rachel Wood sang it in, and it's not. :o(             Cartoon History of the Universe 1 Vol. 1-7 (Cartoon History of the Universe) (Cartoon History of the ...49 reviews Larry Gonick Main Street Books, 1997 Great Classroom Library Addition I bought this book for my 6th grade classroom and ended up reading it myself. It's a favorite with the students though there is a bit of nudity that I had to censor with a black marker.             The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality41 reviews Dalai Lama Broadway, 2006 Very excellent Gere, though not my favorite actor, does an excellent job of narrating and his presentation was lively and articulate enough without going over-board. Well done. HHDL does what he does, again, and as good as every. He gets to the meat and bones of the issues humbily and simply. He expressed many of the same thoughts and feelings I have had (and which I have been unable to articulate) when ...             The Physical Universe6 reviews Konrad B Krauskopf, Arthur Beiser McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2007 very pleased although In had some issues with my post office, amazon.com was prompt and efficient. I appreciate even their support system when you call. I am pleased.             The Self-Aware Universe38 reviews Amit Goswami Tarcher, 1995 I love this book! Goswami merges science and spirituality like no other. You don't need to possess a scientific mind to follow most of his argument. The universe is indeed self-aware and Goswami proves that fact, merging east and west in way that makes perfect sense.             Cartoon History of the Universe 2: Volumes 8-1336 reviews Larry Gonick Main Street Books/Doubleday, 1994 The universe in comics... finally... Comics have no limits. Anything can get depicted with words and pictures. And, after Larry Gonick completes his "Cartoon History of the Universe" series, most everything will be. Over the past three decades Gonick has stretched modern comics from the purely fictional into the scientific and historic. He has cartoonified esoteric subjects that would bore most medieval scriveners. Snoozers like ...             Discovering the Universe7 reviews Neil F. Comins, William J. Kaufmann W. H. Freeman, 2008 Great Textbook This beautiful, full-color, highly-informative textbook has been great for my Astronomy class. Completely up-to-date (well, with the exception of the possible two new planets, one of which has been confirmed only recently and definitely since the text's Spring 2005 publication), it teaches astronomy equally well to the physics major and the humanities student (such as myslef) who is taking the ...             Universe45 reviews Robert Dinwiddie, Philip Eales, ... DK ADULT, 2005 The Best Visually intoxicating! You can learn the secrets of the universe in this one volume. I have numerous DK published books all of which are excellent. However, this is the paragon that all the other books are judged by. Simply, it is the best book that they have ever published. It should be the standard text book for astronomy classes!             The View from the Center of the Universe: Discovering Our Extraordinary Place in the Cosmos36 reviews Joel R. Primack, Nancy Ellen Abrams Riverhead Hardcover, 2006 The View from the Center of the Universe This is my second purchase of this book as I bought one to share. The video which comes with the book is also worthy to be shared.             The Convoluted Universe - Book Three (Convoluted Universe)8 reviews Dolores Cannon Ozark Mountain Publishing, Inc., 2008 Fantastic - read all of her books I have read every single Dolores Cannon book - because they are fascinating and in my gut, they feel true. Yes, there are lots of bizarre things that come up in the past life reviews she does with her clients - but we all know that we really don't know anything. Her books try to expose us to many of the mysteries that we wonder about - and she always delivers on that promise.
