Hi, I'm looking for some new books to get my teeth into that are physics/philosophy based. Currently I'm confined to my local Waterstones which dedicates about 3 metres of shelf space to science books... but hopefully when I start getting some money rolling in, amazon shall be my oyster. Recommend anything along the lines of these books I've already read:
A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson: probably the first popular science book I ever read, very informative and funny.
A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking: is there anyone who hasn't read this?
The Elegant Universe - Brian Greene
The Fabric of the Cosmos - Brian Greene: two interesting books, the first focusing on string theory and the unified theory, and the second being a bit more general.
Principia - Isaac Newton
Why I am not a Christian - Bertrand Russell: such a great book.
The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins: similar to Russell's book but slightly more modernised.
Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You - Marcus Chown
Quantum Reality - Nick Herbert: fairly old book from my school's library, still interesting though
Feynman Lectures on Physics vol.1: again from my school's library, vol.2 and vol.3 are currently out at the moment... but I will hopefully snatch them up when I can.
I'm interested in buying Plato, Nietzche and Machiavelli, but I have no real idea where to look for any more books.
Cheers, Matt
