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

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

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

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.
