Helgoland (Lead Title): The Strange and Beautiful Story of Quantum Physics
Rs. 2,990.00or 3 X Rs.996.67 withRead moreCarlo Rovelli
The greatest populariser of physics today. . . We are left in a world that is not disenchanted by science, but even more magical. A triumph — Julian Baggini ― Financial Times
Theoretical physics often feels rather mystical. This mind-bending, lively book by the bestselling physicist Carlo Rovelli reinforces that other-wordly feeling. . . unforgettable ― The Times
Rovelli is often called the poet of physics. He writes elegant, wondering, enlarging books on time and quantum theory, much in the spirit of a priest bringing the word of God to his congregation, and I’ve found it good for my soul to be confronted with how little I understand the world and everything in it — Sarah Perry ― Guardian
One of the warmest, most elegant and most lucid interpreters of the dazzling enigmas of his discipline. . . A momentous book
His most beautiful book yet. . .leaves an unforgettable impression of its author as a man struggling at the furthest limits of human comprehension — James Marriot ― The Times
A deep-thinking, restlessly inquiring spirit. . . His books continue a tradition of popular scientific writing from Galileo to Darwin that disappeared in the academic specialisations of the past century — Ian Thomson ― Observer
Another brilliant book by Rovelli. . . You’ll have fun — Clive Cookson ― Financial Times

The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory
Rs. 3,190.00or 3 X Rs.1,063.33 withRead moreBrian Greene
- Winner of the Aventis Prize 2000
“Compulsively readable. . . . Greene threatens to do for string theory what Stephen Hawking did for black holes.” ― New York
“As rewarding as it gets . . . a thrilling ride through a lovely landscape.” ― Los Angeles Times
“Sets a standard that will be hard to beat.” ― George Johnson, The New York Times Book Review
The international bestseller that inspired a major Nova special and sparked a new understanding of the universe.
Brian Greene, one of the world’s leading string theorists, peels away layers of mystery to reveal a universe that consists of eleven dimensions, where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter―from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas―is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy. The Elegant Universe makes some of the most sophisticated concepts ever contemplated accessible and thoroughly entertaining, bringing us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.

The Intimate Universe
Rs. 3,990.00or 3 X Rs.1,330.00 withRead moreMarek Kukula
The scale of the cosmos can be baffling, with distances so vast and timescales to long that it’s easy to dismiss them as being completely divorced from our everyday life. But in this new book Dr Marek Kukula, Public Astronomer at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, shows you the myriad ways we are intrinsically connected to the rest of the universe and how everything on Earth – from the ground beneath our feet to the technology in our pockets – has origins in space.
Discover how rocks from space reveal what conditions are like at our planet’s core, how the desolate surface of the moon holds ancient clues to Earth’s earliest life forms, and how buried treasure in the Nile reveals the watery past of Mars. Discover how the atoms of your own body were forged in the heart of a star, how you can see the echo of creation on your TV, and the ways in which technology developed for observing the most far-flung corners of space is now used to diagnose potentially fatal human diseases.
The Intimate Universe is a curated tour of the most fascinating phenomena and discoveries in astronomy, revealing how we are inextricably, inspirationally linked to the cosmos.

Now You’re Talking: Human Conversation from the Neanderthals to Artificial Intelligence
Rs. 3,390.00Rs. 2,690.00or 3 X Rs.896.67 withRead moreTrevor Cox
“The spectrum of sounds humans emit are not only the lifeblood of conversation—they are central to our sense of who we are and where we come from. In his book Now You’re Talking, acoustic engineer and BBC radio presenter Trevor Cox zooms in on the basic mechanics of our vocal abilities, broadly surveys the ways our speaking voices define and reflect identity, and asks what it means when this most human quality can be replicated by computers.” —Psychology Today
“A lucid look at the science behind human communication . . . The greatest takeaway from the book is the welcome thought that our best moments as human communicators are in ordinary conversations, ‘quotidian activity that allows knowledge about how to survive and thrive to be passed between us.’ There’s lots to ponder in Cox’s geekily entertaining exploration of how we acquire our voices and understand those of others.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A lively, intelligent and persuasive history of speech.” —Laura Freeman, The Times
“Illuminating . . . Cox knows how to make his subject sing.” —Sebastian Shakespeare, Daily Mail
“Cox proves an affable guide, and his sharp history will give casual science buffs a lot to talk about.” —Publishers Weekly

‘A book of big questions, and big answers‘ Yuval Noah Harari, bestselling author of Sapiens
“Artful, informative, and delightful…. There is nothing like a radically new angle of vision for bringing out unsuspected dimensions of a subject, and that is what Jared Diamond has done.” ― William H. McNeil, New York Review of Books
“An ambitious, highly important book.” ― James Shreeve, New York Times Book Review
“A book of remarkable scope, a history of the world in less than 500 pages which succeeds admirably, where so many others have failed, in analyzing some of the basic workings of culture process…. One of the most important and readable works on the human past published in recent years.” ― Colin Renfrew, Nature
“The scope and the explanatory power of this book are astounding.”
― The New Yorker“No scientist brings more experience from the laboratory and field, none thinks more deeply about social issues or addresses them with greater clarity, than Jared Diamond as illustrated by Guns, Germs, and Steel. In this remarkably readable book he shows how history and biology can enrich one another to produce a deeper understanding of the human condition.” ― Edward O. Wilson, Pellegrino University Professor, Harvard University
“Serious, groundbreaking biological studies of human history only seem to come along once every generation or so. . . . Now [Guns, Germs, and Steel] must be added to their select number. . . . Diamond meshes technological mastery with historical sweep, anecdotal delight with broad conceptual vision, and command of sources with creative leaps. No finer work of its kind has been published this year, or for many past.” ― Martin Sieff, Washington Times
“[Diamond] is broadly erudite, writes in a style that pleasantly expresses scientific concepts in vernacular American English, and deals almost exclusively in questions that should interest everyone concerned about how humanity has developed. . . . [He] has done us all a great favor by supplying a rock-solid alternative to the racist answer. . . . A wonderfully interesting book.” ― Alfred W. Crosby, Los Angeles Times
“An epochal work. Diamond has written a summary of human history that can be accounted, for the time being, as Darwinian in its authority.” ― Thomas M. Disch, The New Leader

It’s good that it is being reissued in this fine new edition to mark the centenary of his greatest insights.”―Martin Rees, Trinity College, University of Cambridge, and Astronomer Royal
“Nobody is better at explaining relativity than Einstein himself. . . . This 100th anniversary edition is complemented by commentary from Gutfreund and Renn, who clarify some key points and add historical perspective, making Einstein’s own words even more accessible and meaningful.”―Tom Siegfried, Science News
