‘Truly impressive…It’s hard to imagine a better rough guide to science.’ Guardian
‘A travelogue of science, with a witty, engaging, and well-informed guide‘ The Times
Mr Bryson has a natural gift for clear and vivid expression. I doubt that a better book for the layman about the findings of modern science has been written ― Sunday Telegraph
A fascinating idea, and I can’t think of many writers, other than Bryson, who would do it this well. It’s the sort of book I would have devoured as a teenager. It might well turn unsuspecting young readers into scientists. And the famous, slightly cynical humour is always there ― Evening Standard
A genuinely useful and readable book. There is a phenomenal amount of fascinating information packed between its covers … A thoroughly enjoyable, as well as educational, experience. Nobody who reads it will ever look at the world around them in the same way again ― Daily Express
Of course, there are people much better qualified than Bill Bryson to attempt a project of this magnitude. None of them, however, can write fluent Brysonese, which, as pretty much the entire Western reading public now knows, is an appealing mixture of self-deprecation, wryness and punnery ― Spectator
The very book I have been looking for most of my life… Bryson wears his knowledge with aplomb and a lot of very good jokes ― Daily Mail

Intelligence Of The Cosmos
Rs. 2,490.00or 3 X Rs.830.00 withRead moreErvin Laszlo
“Intelligence of the Cosmos” is a book authored by Ervin Laszlo, a philosopher, systems theorist, and integral theorist. The book explores the idea that the universe is not a meaningless, random collection of atoms and particles, but rather a living, intelligent entity that is constantly evolving and expanding. Laszlo draws on scientific research from fields such as quantum physics, cosmology, and neuroscience to support his ideas, and argues that the universe has an inherent intelligence that underlies all of existence. The book has been praised for its thought-provoking ideas and its ability to inspire readers to contemplate the nature of the universe and their place in it.

Reality is Not What it Seems: The Journey to Quantum Gravity
Rs. 2,990.00or 3 X Rs.996.67 withAdd to cartCarlo 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

What’s Eating the Universe?: And Other Cosmic Questions
Rs. 3,490.00or 3 X Rs.1,163.33 withRead morePaul Davies
Brilliant. You won’t find a clearer, more engaging guide to what we know (or would like to know) about the universe and how it is put together. — Bill Bryson ― author of The Body: A Guide for Occupants
Paul Davies gives us a thought-provoking, fascinating, and delightful journey through some of the big questions that have perplexed and tantalized scientists throughout history. These are the questions and paradoxes that have stumped and teased history’s greatest minds. What happened before the beginning? What is the meaning of the universe? Are there other universes? –– Michio Kaku
Paul Davies brings his customary lucidity to a survey of some of the most fascinating and puzzling aspects of our universe, simultaneously educating us about its vertiginous wonders and giving us a real sense of science’s questions as it confronts and explores them and wrestles with their mystery. It is an absorbing and stimulating read, one of the best of its kind. — A.C. Grayling ― author of The Frontiers of Knowledge
Compelling … Davies excels in succinctly addressing the cosmological conundrums that haven’t received as much attention as dark matter, dark energy, what triggered the big bang and the fate of the universe ― Forbes
A whistle-stop tour of the biggest mysteries that cosmologists are investigating today … a fun way of making sure you’re all caught up on where cosmology is at today ― Physics World
What’s Eating the Universe? is a veritable feast for curious minds. Davies, a polymath and lyrical writer, masterfully tackles all the big questions ranging from why this Universe to the meaning of life and the significance of the present moment-a whirlwind journey through ideas that have shaped our understanding of the cosmos and its constituents. — Priyamvada Natarajan ― author of Mapping the Heavens: The Radical Scientific Ideas That Reveal the Cosmos

Apollo 11: The Inside Story
Rs. 2,790.00or 3 X Rs.930.00 withRead moreDavid Whitehouse
‘Fast-paced and tremendously readable … What makes this book really stand out from other Apollo based books is the inclusion of long quotes from interviews with astronauts such as John Glenn (the first American to orbit Earth), Eugene Cernan (the last man to walk on the Moon) and, of course, Neil Armstrong himself.’ ***** Book of the Month ― BBC Sky at Night magazine
The book is at its most successful when Whitehouse gets out of the way of its protagonists, letting the astronauts and cosmonauts offer their own verbatim accounts of their often perilous – and occasionally fatal – missions. The real strength of this book is its tribute to the human qualities of these men – and they are all men, with the exception of the brief but gripping story of one female cosmonaut – who were willing to sacrifice so much. ― The Irish News
In the most authoritative book ever written about Apollo, David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, telling the story in the words of those who took part based around exclusive interviews with the key players … [An] enthralling book ― All About Space
David Whitehouse’s masterly narration of what he calls ‘the inside story’ is profoundly gratifying. –– The Spectator
