I took this book from the library to read and now decided to buy it as it is the best book on nutrition and pregnancy! It is a little book with all information you need, no nosense, no talks about the same, everything is explained very simple and clearly. It works as a little encyclopedia that I want to have handy all the time :)

Brilliant read, 2010-06-08
I read this book because it was on the reading list for a course I was doing in counselling skills, but I would recommend it to anyone not just counselling students. This book is a brilliant read, I couldn't put it down - it's funny, fascinating and at some points rather shocking. The author is extremely honest, he holds nothing back from the reader and therefore gives you a really interesting insight into how psychotherapists think and the diverse type of people/situations they deal with.

excellent read, 2010-08-25
I got this book after remembering having read a great article in New Scientist called "Life's top ten greatest inventions" (it was by Rachel Nowak - I checked). This books is based on a similar premise, putting more meat on its bones, expanding it and looking deeper into each of life's so-called inventions. A fascinating read and well worth buying. Very accessible, even for non-scientists like me. On the downside, I hate it when publishers put notes at the back of the book. Footnotes are preferable. But that's a minor niggle.

A guide like no other, 2010-08-11
This wonderful book fills a gap. There are several excellent volumes about the elements, ranging from Hazel Rossotti's encyclopedic handbook, 'Diverse Atoms', John Emsley's lab-bench handbook 'The Elements' and his fuller and less technical 'Nature's Building Blocks' to Theodore Gray's lovely picture book 'The Elements', but nobody has brought together such a wealth of stories about the discoverers of the elements, their loves, hates, triumphs and disasters. Mary Weeks' out-of-print 'Discovery of the Elements' was not half as exciting. Sometimes the author has sensationalized things, for example calling Mendeleev 'an anarchist' (his life may have been somewhat anarchic, but his politics were Czarist). The human stories are backed up with 'potted biographies' of the elements themselves, made intelligible to the non-chemist reader, using the periodic system to give structure and explanation. This is a throughly readable book, which should be informative to chemists and should persuade non-chemists that there is a great deal more to the subject than they ever imagined.

Author: Brian Cox
By Da Capo Press

The most accessible, entertaining, and enlightening explanation of the best-known physics equation in the world, as rendered by two of today-s leading scientists. Professor Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of 21st century science to consider the real meaning behind the iconic sequence of symbols that make up Einstein-s most famous equation, E=mc2. Breaking down the symbols themselves, they pose a series of questions: What is energy? What is mass? What has the speed of light got to do with energy and mass? In answering these questions, they take us to the site of one of the largest scientific experiments ever conducted. Lying beneath the city of Geneva, straddling the Franco-Swiss boarder, is a 27 km particle accelerator, known as the Large Hadron Collider. Using this gigantic machine-which can recreate conditions in the early Universe fractions of a second after the Big Bang-Cox and Forshaw will describe the current theory behind the origin of mass.
Good read for those interested in such areas......., 2010-08-13
I spent a few days reading this book on my hols and would say that it is a great blend of theory, some 'wow' facts, and some mathematic explanations backing up the theories (though the authors take great steps to outline how not following the maths should not detract from the content).

As someone with an interest in this type of topic, there were quite a few 'wow' moments (no spoilers.....I suggest you read the book).

Furthermore their clear enthusiasm in the topic helps keep the book fresh and content easy to get through.

Essentially a walk through from the first theories of movement, speed, gravity from historical scienticts / theorists through to modern day cutting edge understanding / theories including Cern/LHC work etc and how everything has come together to lead us to one (almost!) universal theory for everything particle wise and what this all means........ (again, read the book for an explanation as to why it's 'almost' everything).

Written with a non-scientist in mind.... I strongly recommend.
