Mind-expanding science reads – nonfiction picks for 9/4/10
Stephen Hawking’s new book called The Grand Design comes out next week, and today I finished putting together some science reading lists for physics, astronomy, and mathematics. So in honor of these two (admittedly unrelated) events, this week’s list of nonfiction picks are all about science.
From our latest Good Nonfiction Reads list:
| The Big Splat: Or, How Our Moon Came to Be
By Dana Mackenzie |
|
| Faust in Copenhagen: A Struggle for the Soul of Physics
By Gino Segrè |
|
| Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity
By David Foster Wallace |

And remember – “[w]here ignorance lurks, so too do the frontiers of discovery and imagination.” (Neil deGrasse Tyson, in his book Death by Black Hole)
