Reality is Not What it Seems: The Journey to Quantum Gravity
Rs. 2,990.00or 3 X Rs.996.67 withRead moreCarlo Rovelli
“The man who makes physics sexy . . . the scientist they’re calling the next Stephen Hawking.” —The Times Magazine
“Some physicists, mind you, not many of them, are physicist-poets. They see the world or, more adequately, physical reality, as a lyrical narrative written in some hidden code that the human mind can decipher. Carlo Rovelli, the Italian physicist and author, is one of them…Rovelli’s book is a gem. It’s a pleasure to read, full of wonderful analogies and imagery and, last but not least, a celebration of the human spirit.”—NPR Cosmos & Culture
“With its warm, enthusiastic language and tone, [Seven Brief Lessons on Physics] is also deeply humanistic in approach, using words like elegant and beauty about a subject…that can seem impenetrably dense and abstract…Reality Is Not What It Seems takes much the same approach.”—New York Magazine
“Rovelli writes beautiful prose while walking the reader through the history and concept of ‘reality’ and what it all means for the yet to be discovered universe and thus our own lives.”—Pasadena Star-News

The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity
Rs. 3,490.00or 3 X Rs.1,163.33 withRead moreDavid Graeber, David Wengrow
A boldly ambitious work … entertaining and thought-provoking … an impressively large undertaking that succeeds in making us reconsider not just the remote past but also the too-close-to-see present, as well as the common thread that is our shifting and elusive nature. — Andrew Anthony ― Observer
What a gift … Graeber and Wengrow offer a history of the past 30,000 years that is not only wildly different from anything we’re used to, but also far more interesting: textured, surprising, paradoxical, inspiring. — William Deresiewicz ― The Atlantic
Iconoclastic and irreverent … an exhilarating read … As we seek new, sustainable ways to organise our world, we need to understand the full range of ways our ancestors thought and lived. And we must certainly question conventional versions of our history which we have accepted, unexamined, for far too long. — David Priestland ― The Guardian
Pacey and potentially revolutionary … This is more than an argument about the past, it is about the human condition in the present. — Bryan Appleyard ― Sunday Times
A fascinating, radical, and playful entry into a seemingly exhaustively well-trodden genre, the grand evolutionary history of humanity. It seeks nothing less than to completely upend the terms on which the Standard Narrative rests … erudite, compelling, generative, and frequently remarkably funny … once you start thinking like Graeber and Wengrow, it’s difficult to stop. — Emily M. Kern ― Boston Review
A spectacular, flashy and ground-breaking retelling of human history, blazing with iconoclastic rebuttals to conventional wisdom. Full of fresh thinking, it’s a pleasure to read and offers a bracing challenge on every page. — Simon Sebag Montefiore ― BBC History

Black Holes And Baby Universes And Other Essays
Rs. 2,290.00or 3 X Rs.763.33 withRead moreStephen Hawking
- NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“[Hawking] sprinkles his explanations with a wry sense of humor and a keen awareness that the sciences today delve not only into the far reaches of the cosmos, but into the inner philosophical world as well.”—The New York Times Book Review
Thirteen extraordinary essays shed new light on the mystery of the universe—and on one of the most brilliant thinkers of our time.
In his phenomenal bestseller A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking literally transformed the way we think about physics, the universe, reality itself. In these thirteen essays and one remarkable extended interview, the man widely regarded as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein returns to reveal an amazing array of possibilities for understanding our universe.
Building on his earlier work, Hawking discusses imaginary time, how black holes can give birth to baby universes, and scientists’ efforts to find a complete unified theory that would predict everything in the universe. With his characteristic mastery of language, his sense of humor and commitment to plain speaking, Stephen Hawking invites us to know him better—and to share his passion for the voyage of intellect and imagination that has opened new ways to understanding the very nature of the cosmos. -

Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe
Rs. 2,990.00or 3 X Rs.996.67 withRead moreBrian Greene
A cracking read…Greene serves up plenty of revelatory detail… If you want to know how everything got here and where it’s going, read this book. –– Stephen Bleach ― Sunday Times
Until the End of Time is encyclopaedic in its ambition and its erudition, often heartbreaking, stuffed with too many profundities that I wanted to quote, as well as anecdotes from Greene’s own life – of which we should wish for more – that had me laughing … A love letter to the ephemeral cosmic moment when everything is possible. — Dennis Overbye ― New York Times
It takes a storyteller to explain the sciences, and few are as gifted as Brian Greene. There’s real wonder in his descriptions of galaxies and planets forming, and of life blooming after that. It is all part of a fleeting moment in the cosmos – one that will eventually end – yet Greene finds meaning and optimism in everything around us. –– Chris Schluep, Amazon Editor
