A concise, accessible primer on astrophysics written by Neil deGrasse Tyson, designed for readers of all ages who want to understand how the universe works.

Explains the vision of the universe behind string theory, including new dimensions, black holes, and mysterious phenomena in the cosmos.

A thrilling exploration of the cosmos, brilliantly explained by a popular science master.

Carl Sagan’s Cosmos traces the history of science and the universe’s evolution, from ancient philosophers to modern discoveries, and explores the quest to understand life beyond Earth.

Stephen Hawking explores the cutting edge of theoretical physics in layman’s terms, guiding readers through the mysteries that shape our universe.

Michio Kaku explores the science of cosmology, the multiverse, and M‑theory, examining how our universe may be one of many and what that means for its ultimate fate.

A popular science exploration of black holes and the fabric of spacetime, tracing Einsteinian ideas from Newtonian roots to the forefront of 1990s physics.

Quantum Self explores the intersection of consciousness and quantum physics, offering a philosophical anthropology perspective that challenges conventional views of the self in the context of modern physics.

An accessible guide to the science of the universe, covering its origin, evolution, and key observational tools, with updated chapters on gravitational lensing and gravitational waves.

"The study of the physical world had its origins in philosophy, and, two-and-one-half millennia later, the scientific advances of the twentieth century are bringing the two fields closer together again. So argues Lawrence Sklar in this brilliant new text on the philosophy of physics." "Aimed at students of both disciplines, Philosophy of Physics is a broad overview of the problems of contemporary philosophy of physics that readers of all levels of sophistication should find accessible and engaging. Professor Sklar's talent for clarity and accuracy is on display throughout as he guides students through the key problems: the nature of space and time, the problems of probability and irreversibility in statistical mechanics, and, of course, the many notorious problems raised by quantum mechanics." "Integrated by the theme of the interconnectedness of philosophy and science, and linked by many references to the history of both disciplines, Philosophy of Physics is always clear, while remaining faithful to the complexity and integrity of the issues. It will take its place as a classic text in a field of fundamental intellectual importance."--Jacket.

The quantum society by Danah Zohar examines how quantum theory interlaces with philosophy, mysticism, and social psychology, offering insights into the evolving nature of society and human understanding.

John D. Barrow explores the concept of nothing from ancient mathematics and philosophy through modern cosmology, showing how zero, the void, and the quantum vacuum shape our understanding of the universe.
