Badawi's book is made of the writings that got him into trouble with the Saudi Arabian government. The book is short as the writings were blog posts, and one does wonder why such writings could be so dangerous. But the words are powerful. The book worth reading.

A biography of Feynmans contributions to physics more than a biography of his life. This book requires some basic knowledge of physics to be interesting. Krauss writes well, but surprisingly I found his narration to be bland and somewhat boring. I've enjoyed listening to his lectures before, but he...
Finally got it today from a local bookshop.Lectures link to this subject by Lawrence KraussDarwin Week 2012 - Lawrence Krauss: "A Universe from Nothing"Just found out that his other lecture on the same subject has more than a million views. Wow.'A Universe From Nothing' by Lawrence Krauss, AAI 2009T...
Well , I don't know the real expression which describes this book " not that bad " would be useful .I wanted to read something for Lawrence before reading A Universe From Nothing and I came here by accident , the book was good for me I found here many things which I wanted to know about , besid...
Interesting, easy to read, but probably won't convince those who have already decided the answer is 'God'. Obviously, doesn't definitively answer why there is, in fact, something rather than nothing, but does a good job of explaining space/time, inflation, anthropic principle etc in a non technical ...
The author does a good job of interpreting some of the latest information on cosmology in lay language. Especially good at explaining how ideas like inflation, multiple universes, and the energy of empty space are not just ideas dreamed up to explain the unknown, but are driven by data.
This book was okay. Could've done without all the atheist name-dropping. Krauss is trying to be a fifth Horseman (or Beatle). The writing is not particularly clever. There was some new information in it about the shape of the universe that I was previously unaware/unclear about, not being a cosmolog...
This is Lawerence Krauss's attempt at denying the existence of a deity through explaining the current state of physics and cosmology. It follows (with much more detail) his RDF foundation lecture which was up until recently on YouTube (and which I enjoyed immensely).The current state of physics part...
From the opening: 'Feynmann won a nobel prize because he explained how an anti-particle is a particle going backwards in time.'Lots of this will go straight over the top of the noddle, however I will soak up some, I'm sure.:O)Wish I could be 'there' as well as 'here' simultaneously - does this mean ...
