The ascent of man (anthropology) - the BBC series of the same name in book form.
The emperor's new mind - by Penrose, his thesis on why computers can never be sentient and conscious like humans but I am oversimplifying. Tough going, took me a little over a year to finish. Great Physicists - from Galileo to Hawking by William H Cropper - life and times with an introduction to the concepts they discovered etc. Kiran -original message- Subject: [silk] Best Science book you would recommend to a friend ? From: Bharat Shetty <[email protected]> Date: 06/05/2009 8:29 am Hi *, A friend asked me minutes ago - "suggest to me, a nice and interesting science book to read", and I was clueless on what to suggest, except some science fiction. So venerable silk-listers, I would like to know what would have been your answer, if you were asked the same question ? -- Bharat | http://twitter.com/shettyb
