George Gamow tends to get forgotten these days. He died some time ago, and his books are now over forty years old. Some, like his history of 20th century physics, may seem a bit dated in light of the discoveries since then.

Yet there's still magic in these pages. Gamow was one of the greatest of 20th century physicists, and at the same time, a great teacher whose passion for the sheer fun of math and science was communicated in his books, whether explaining the wonders of infinite series, or how to locate a hidden pirate's treasure chest using imaginary numbers. Unlike a lot of modern poipular science writers, Gamow didn't shy away from showing you the math- but he could explain in a way that even an elementary school child could understand.

A wonderful book for the child or adult who isn't afraid to think.

This volume by the late Sagan won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for best science book upon its initial publication (LJ 1/15/73). Sagan possessed a particular talent for taking something very complicated and explaining it in terms that the average person could easily understand. Humankind has long had a fascination bordering on obsession with the possibility of life beyond the boundaries of ...
More our own planet, and Sagan offers his take on extraterrestrial intelligence as well as life on Earth. This edition has been updated with a portrait of the author by his wife, plus a new introduction and an essay by science writer David Morrison assessing Sagan's theories, many of which have been proven true.

The classic of contemporary science writing by a Nobel Prize-winning physicist explains what happened when the universe began, and how we know."Science writing at its best."--Martin Gardner, New York Review of Books"Weinberg builds such a convincing case...that one comes away from his book feeling not only that the idea of an original cosmic explosion is not crazy but that any other theory appears scientifically irrational."--Jeremy Bernstein, The New Yorker
"The book is the first I have seen to have put the details, both historical and conceptual, of the origin of the Universe within the grasp of the general reader."--Isaac AsimovA

The classic personal account of one of the great scientific discoveries of the century.By identifying the structure of DNA, the molecule of life, Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry and won themselves a Nobel Prize. At the time, Watson was only twenty-four, a brilliant young zoologist hungry to make his mark. His uncompromisingly honest account of the heady days of their thrilling sprint against other world-class researchers to solve one of science's greatest unsolved mysteries gives a dazzlingly clear picture of a world of brilliant scientists with great gifts, very human ambitions, and bitter rivalries. With humility unspoiled by false modesty, Watson relates his and Crick's desperate efforts to beat Linus Pauling to the Holy Grail of the life sciences, the identification of the basic building block of life. He is impressed by the achievements of the young man he was, but clear-eyed about his limitations. Never has such a brilliant scientist also been so gifted, and so truthful, in capturing in words the flavor of his work.
