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

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
