  The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?

  • From:Amazon
  • Posted:Sep-12-2009

  • A Superb Experimenter's View of Particle Physics
  • This is a superbly didactical history of particle physics, from the Pre-Socratics to the current race to find the Higgs (God) particle. In between Leon Lederman, 1988 Nobel laureate in physics,...

    1. To begin with, I found the book slow-paced (it takes more than a third of the book to get to the discovery of the...

  Principles of Brewing Science, Second Edition: A Study of Serious Brewing Issues

  • From:Amazon
  • Posted:Sep-29-2005

  • Not for the homebrewer
  • While jam-packed with technical brewing-related information on the molecular level, the book is virtually useless to the amateur brewer seeking to improve his or her beer. I did not expect instant...

  • Excellent technical coverage
  • This is a fairly technical discussion of the subject of brewing chemistry. It's probably more than your typical home-brewer will want to get into, but if you've got some biochem background, or have...

  • A reducionist's view of evolution
  • This book is interesting and does a really good job defending Darwinism, even though it is way too long on some topics, becoming boring, like the excessively long chapter about spider webs.
