Amazing on amazon .ca sale is ending soon ... sorry to be a pain in the butt, but I need some book recommendations. Something very educational, a good overview on universe, galaxies, space, dark matter, black holes, etc. etc. = BUT NOT the very basics, some stuff that takes a bit of basics and makes it more comprehensive, more interesting, more wide (not just the dam planets or list of statistics) ... I already know the main stuff. Dont recommend an astronomy high school book, please ;-)
Dunno if its the right place (book recommendations thread - rarely anyone goes there), but please help me out. I need some reading material to beef up my universe knowledge. From a scientific point of view.
EDIT: If hardly anyone posts, can a mod move this to chillout forum then? At your own discretion ... but I need recommendations, dammit! :D |

Endless Universe is pretty interesting although I never quite finished it.

Among the 12+ books in my shopping cart right now, I added these:
The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality - Brian Greene; Hardcover
A Briefer History of Time - Stephen Hawking; Hardcover
Nova--The Elegant Universe; DVD (may buy the book later, sounds like a tough read)
:D Keep 'em coming, I want to add another couple books ;-)
can someone recommend a great book about the details about the galaxies, dark matter / energy, universe expansion, black holes, etc. thats more than just a high school astronomy book? Seems like the above titles only talk about the new cutting edge info on string theory, quantum mechanics, parallel universes, and such. |
