Thank you for posting these. I have found some of them to be quite good little histories. While others weren't worth the electrons used for them.

Brunelleschi's Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented Architecture by Ross King has dropped to 2.99 at Kindle US. I read and loved this book many years ago in DTB, although since I'm an engineer, and there's a lot of engineering underlying the architecture, that might have impacted my view of the book a bit. (If you're not technical, don't be scared off - one of my non-technical friends also read and loved it -- just different parts of it.) But still, IMO, great book...

I will second that notion, Sufue: Brunelleschi's Dome is a great book for anyone interested in history, architecture, and/or art.

I don't know how long this price has been in effect or how long it will last, but Ma’am Darling: 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret is only £1.99 at Amazon UK. This was a book of the year for all the major papers last year and it looks tons of fun; social commentary disguised as gossip. Honestly, I can't wait!

Now:The Physics of Time by Richard Muller is available from Amazon and Kobo for $2.99.
Synopsis From the celebrated author of the best-selling Physics for Future Presidents comes “a provocative, strongly argued book on the fundamental nature of time” (Lee Smolin). You are reading the word "now" right now. But what does that mean? "Now" has bedeviled philosophers, priests, and modern-day physicists from Augustine to Einstein and beyond. In Now, eminent physicist Richard A. Muller takes up the challenge. He begins with remarkably clear explanations of relativity, entropy, entanglement, the Big Bang, and more, setting the stage for his own revolutionary theory of time, one that makes testable predictions. Muller’s monumental work will spark major debate about the most fundamental assumptions of our universe, and may crack one of physics’ longest-standing enigmas. |
