The Science of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials
from Laurel Leaf

Customer Review:

Fantasy for the sake of escapism is wonderful. Explanation of the same may become problematic. To the reader who enjoys escaping reality for fantasy, explanation for what otherwise has no reason is as inviting as the many hurtful "growing up" moments: e.g. when we learn that there is no Santa Claus... more info

Almost Everyone's Guide to Science: The Universe, Life and Everything (Yale Nota Bene)
from Yale University Press

Customer Review:

I checked this book out of the library, and soon gave up on it. Gibbin has exibited a good, easy to read writing style in putting out a slew of science books. He should maybe slow down a bit.

Newton in 90 Minutes: (1642-1727) (Scientists in 90 Minutes Series)
