There's a new bookshop in the area and it's REALLY HUGE!!! ;D
I just bought four new books!
Physics:
A Briefer History of Time, by Stephen Hawking
An expanded and revised edition of Stephen Hawking's worldwide bestseller A Brief History of Time, the book addresses issues such as the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, the beginning, history and future of the universe.
Relativity, Albert Einstein
A book by Einstein himself, explaining that crucial phenomenon Relativity translated from the Dutch original. The book claims that although it is a common misconception that Relativity is a subject understood only by a few people, it is possible for everyone to understand it.
Mathematics:
The Man Who Knew Infinity, Robert Kanigel
Biography of the brilliant self-taught mathematician Ramanujan.
It's also a history of the astonishingly cross-cultural collabration between this young mathematical genius and his mentor at the Cambridge university, G.H. Hardy - a relationship that turned the world of mathematics upside down.
The book also has mathematical problems and sums!! Plus shortcuts and formulae that I never learned at school! ;D
Reference:
The Practical Quiz Book, J.G. Baron
QUIZZES!!!! Great quizzing book.
