1.		Eyewitness: Time & Space (Eyewitness Books) from DK CHILDREN 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	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The 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	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Flower Hunters from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $18.45 Customer Review: I have been an avid reader of John and Mary Gribbin for a number of years. The Flower Hunters is another fine example of their work. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to all of my friends. Being someone who generally reads hard-core science, I found it an interesting distraction... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Almost Everyone's Guide to Science: The Universe, Life and Everything (Yale Nota Bene) from Yale University Press Price: $10.16 Customer Review: I checked this book out of the library, and soon gave up on it. Gibbin has exibited a good, easy to read writing style in putting out a slew of science books. He should maybe slow down a bit. A book of this sort cries out for supporting illustrations, but has none. What it does have is a number of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Stardust: Supernovae and Life --- The Cosmic Connection from Yale University Press Price: $18.50 Customer Review: What is the nature of the relationship between the Universe and life? If this sort of a question piques your interest, then you should read John Gribbin's "Stardust." The four chemical elements most important to life as we know it include: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. How did these... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		FitzRoy: The Remarkable Story of Darwin's Captain and the Invention of the Weather Forecast from Yale University Press Price: $27.76 Customer Review: If not for anything else he did in his life, this man should be remembered for setting up the first weather forecasting service in England during the middle nineteenth century. That he was the Captain of the "Beagle" when Charles Darwin sailed on it as 'naturalist'; is not half as important as he... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.	[no image]	Ice Age from Barnes & Noble, Inc. Customer Review: This little book by husband and wife team John and Mary Gribbin is a model of lucidity in scientific exposition. At first glance, it appears to be written for children, but it is an excellent introduction to the topic of Ice Ages and geologic history for ages ten to adult. Given all the talk about... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Stardust (Penguin Press Science) from Penguin Books Ltd Customer Review: this book is simply amazing. it charts the evolution of our universe and the elements within it, from the big bang onwards, explaining exactly how stars have evolved and why life exists. easy to read, fascinating, and requiring no background in science, this book should be a standard in schools.

10.		Annus Mirabilis: 1905, Albert Einstein, and the Theory of Relativity from Chamberlain Bros. Customer Review: This book was clearly put together to cash in on the 100th anniversary of Einstein's Annus Mirabilis. It is a bit or a rip-off at the original $25 list price, but is more properly priced at $6. The book is divided into 5 parts. There is a 41-page section covering Einstein's life up to 1905. Then... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
