  A captivating exploration of time by Carlo Rovelli, one of TIME’s Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the Decade. Rovelli, a scientist, philosopher, and poet, takes readers on a profound journey to unravel the mysteries of time. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, Rovelli challenges our intuitive understanding of time and reveals how our perception of it is shaped by science, philosophy, and art. With charm and wonder, Rovelli enlightens and consoles readers with insights on the nature of time and its relationship to our existence. Translated by Simon Carnell and Erica Segre

  Albert Einstein

   

  “This authoritative centenary edition is a fitting tribute to Einstein’s efforts to make his concepts accessible―in turn, helping to raise the profile of basic science and modern physics on a global scale.”—Mary Craig, Nature

   

  “This book is not only an important historical document, but displays the style and clarity of Einstein’s thought in a manner accessible to a wide readership. 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

  Bill Bryson

   

  • Best-Selling Popular Science book of the 21st Century
  • Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction Nominee (2004)
  •  EU Descartes Prize for science communication (2005)
  • J. A. Hollon palkinto Winner (2006)
  • The Aventis Prizes for Science Books for best general science book (2004)

   

  The ultimate eye-opening journey through time and space, A Short History of Nearly Everything is the biggest-selling popular science book of the 21st century and has sold over 2 million copies.

   

  ‘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

  Pinker is right. Not just a bit right, but completely, utterly, incontrovertibly right … for most people, life is better, even if they don’t realise it — Dominic Sandbrook ― Daily Mail

   

  Brimming with surprising data and entertaining anecdotes … a genuinely enlightening book — Jan-Werner Müller ― Financial Times

   

  In Enlightenment Now, Steven Pinker extols the amazing achievements of modernity, and demonstrates that humankind has never been so peaceful, healthy and prosperous. There is of course much to argue about, but that’s what makes this book so interesting. — Yuval Noah Harari

   

  Pinker is a paragon of exactly the kind of intellectual honesty and courage we need — David Brooks ― The New York Times

   

  In his new book, Enlightenment Now, cognitive scientist Steven Pinker makes a more convincing case for the sciences benefiting the arts ― New Scientist

  Michio Kaku

   

  “[Kaku explores] what we still do not quite understand, those grey areas that are surely the most fascinating part of physics.” —New Scientist

   

  “Kaku’s latest book aims to explain exactly why some visions of the future may eventually be realized while others are likely to remain beyond the bounds of possibility. . . . Science fiction often explores such questions; science falls silent at this point. Kaku’s work helps to fill a void.” —The Economist

   

  “A fascinating exploration of the interface between science and science fiction, extremely well researched, lively, and tremendously entertaining.” —Fritjof Capra, author of The Tao of Physics and The Science of Leonardo

   

  “Mighty few theoretical physicists would bother expounding some of these possible impossibilities, and Kaku is to be congratulated for doing so. . . . [He gets] the juices of future physicists flowing.” —Los Angeles Times

  Trevor 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

  ‘Who would have thought something as simple as changing the way we breathe could be so revolutionary for our health, from snoring to allergies to immunity? A fascinating book, full of dazzling revelations’ –Dr. Rangan Chatterjee

   

  ‘In the past few years, there have been several potentially life-changing books, from Matthew Walker’s Why We Sleep and Shane O’Mara’s In Praise of Walking, to Norman Doidge’s The Brain’s Way of Healing. Breath deserves a place alongside such volumes. Read it, and I guarantee you will want to change the way you breathe’ — Evening Standard

   

  A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe – and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time. I already feel calmer and healthier just in the last few days, from making a few simple changes in my breathing, based on what I’ve read. Our breath is a beautiful, healing, mysterious gift, and so is this book — Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love

   

  ‘If you want to read a book about the power of the breath, this is it!’ — Patrick McKeown, author of The Oxygen Advantage

   

  ‘A transformative book that changes how you think about your body and mind’ — Joshua Foer, author of Moonwalking with Einstein

   

  ‘I don’t say this often, but when I do I mean it: this book changed my life. Breath is part scientific quest, part historical insight, part Hero’s Journey, full of groundbreaking ideas, and a rollicking good read. I had no idea that the simple and intuitive act of inhaling and exhaling has taken such an evolutionary hit. As a result, I figured out why I sleep so badly and why my breathing feels so often out-of-sync. With a few simple tweaks, I fixed my breathing and fixed myself. A transformational book’ — Caroline Paul, author of The Gutsy Girl
