review 1: A very intriguing reference to "the 50 most thought-provoking theories in Science." Containing a series of brief synopses of some very interesting and indeed thought-provoking theories from the more well known Theory of Relativity, Laws of Motion, and Global Warming; to the lesser known (at least to me) Out of Africa theory, Gaia theory, and the Small World hypothesis (which is now a study I wish to be a part of).This book is an excellent reference for some pretty big ideas that can be delved into with more depth for those interested. There is even a list of resources including books, magazines/articles, and websites the reader can visit for more information.Definitely worth it for the armchair scientist.
review 2: Personally I like my science related books t... moreo be 100% objective, this book failed to meet that criteria. I really don't think we needed the author's opinions, mere facts and results of experiments are enough on their own. It was a pretty basic book about main theories in various branches of science, all the information was kept simple and brief, which is probably the aim of the author but that didn't appeal to me and I found it to be rather boring. I guess I wasn't a part of the targeted reader type, oh well.This book got 2 stars instead of 3 only because, considering its price, the illustrations were disappointing too. less
