Astronomy and Cosmology
Cosmology is the name given to a variety of natural sciences, including physics and astronomy that intends to provide an explanation of how the universe works as an integrated entity. Over the centuries, as the Pythagoreans in Greece during the 6th century BC to consider the possibility that the earth was spherical, cosmology has come a long way and has integrated a variety of different fields of science.
Cosmology developed from observations of the Greeks who interpreted the natural laws of celestial objects from which, ultimately, was developed during the Ptolemaic model of the second century AD. Centuries later, during the 16th century, the Copernican system was further developed theories surrounding astronomy and cosmology - followed, in the 20th century, with the theories of special relativity and Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. Overall, however, the case for cosmology states that the laws of physics work the same everywhere, and that there is homogeneity of the entire universe.
'The Holographic Universe', written by Michael Talbot, tells her story in two parts: the first part devotes 55 pages to discuss David Bohm's holographic model of the universe - simplified into everyday language by Talbot. The second part of the book explores paranormal events while, at the same time, trying to rationalize the holographic model. Talbot introduces the reader to the philosophy of Karl Pribram and David Bohm.
Chemical
Chemistry and biochemistry often go hand-in-hand, there is a parallel with other disciplines such as dietetics [food science]. McCance and Widdowson, who produced 'The Composition of Foods' food composition tables summarize and update much in the way of nutrition as a science. Preface to the 6th edition was written by Sir John Krebs while the actual volume itself provides an invaluable source of reference dieticians and nutritionists worldwide.
Meanwhile, the 'Principles of Biochemistry "by Nelson D has been described as a' modern approach to biochemistry '. Personally, one of the best biochemistry book I've ever come across is written by Patterson - now, sadly, long out of print. I attribute my success in graduate biochemistry test for the presence of Patterson who, at the time I was finished with it, especially the dog-eared! 'Principles of Biochemistry' Nelson D's really is the next best thing to Patterson and a worthy successor.
Earth Sciences and Geography
Earth science is a catch-all term that encompasses a variety of different natural sciences mentioned above. It deals with the study of the Earth and how the different parts relate to one another to produce the homogeneous whole which is a classic feature of the scientific world. If you are interested in the world around you then you may be interested in a beautiful book by Gavin Pretor-Pinney. The book is 'The Cloud Collector Handbook' full captivating images, below you will find a brief description of each of the clouds and space for you to record your own sightings. It certainly gives a new connotation to have your head in the clouds!
Education
If you think about it, there is all the difference in the world between someone who loves school and someone who loves to learn: do not have to follow that, if you love to learn, then you should enjoy school. Education, however, is all about learning for the sheer pleasure of acquiring new information. Learning may or may not be associated with the school: even to cover the subject. Evidence of this can be seen in the 'book' Richard Dawkins 'The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence of Evolution'.
Dawkins went on to educate readers, explaining to them how fossils can be dated accurately, all about plate tectonics etc, before getting into the details of how to be connected with the global distribution of plants and animals and the effects of changes in physical elements can have on them. Dawkins, while making clear that he was aware of [and who can not?] From the great debate about evolution v creation, can not be drawn into the little things about the eternal dispute.
Engineering and Technology
One of the books I just have to recommend is a book written by Jo Marchant fantastic. You will find it in the Science and Nature section under the heading of Engineering and Technology. The first thing to say is that this is not some dry and boring technical tome. This book tells the story behind a very ancient Greek artifacts and what it takes to solve the mystery of the hidden codes. The book is called 'Decoding Heaven: Solving the Mystery of World's First Computer'. I hope Jo Marchant had found a more interesting title for this book because the title really does not do justice to the book.
This book tells the story of the Antikythera Mechanism has proven to have a remarkable ability as an astronomical calculator: scientists believe the complexity of at least 1500 years before his time. Artifacts Antikythera Mechanism is a good 2,000 years and discovered during a dive in 1901. Scientists have tried to unravel the secret ever since. So, if it is you are interested in the mysteries of life, or a slightly different book I would highly recommend this book is well written and interesting Jo Marchant.

There are countless other sub-genres can be found in the Science and Nature section, covering quite a wide range of subjects. If you are a fan of the border collie, Barbara Sykes wrote a delightful treatise on 'Understanding Border Collies'. This is an excellent book written by someone who really understands the intricacies that go to make up this breed of dog and is an absolute 'must have' for all border collie lovers out there. Changing from dogs to elephants, I would definitely recommend 'The Elephant Whisperer: Learning about Life, Loyalty and Freedom of Remarkable Herd of Elephants' - it's really going to pull on your heartstrings, then you have to laugh out loud! Check out all the other options in this section - you might amaze yourself at the treasure hidden in the title of our web page!
