The World Treasury of Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics |
|
 | I bought this book 5 years ago, and still remember the surprise I felt when I read sections on topics I thought I already knew about, only to find how extensive the gaps in my knowledge actually were. Now I'm buying my second copy, as I want to surprise a well-read friend of mine with a book from which he too will certainly learn new and exciting information. This is a compendium of articles by seminal authors, covering atoms and quarks, time and space, the observable Universe and its structure, theories of the beginning and end of existence, the nature of numbers, artificial intelligence ... and the list goes on. Whether an expert or a novice, this is the ideal gift for any scientifically-minded friend or family member. An absolute gem of a book. read more.
