Obviously a book for young readers, but lots of good basic information. I’d like to find out more about Surendranath (“Surrender Not”) Banerjee.

Penetrating analysis of the race relations in the Caribbean as of the latter half of the 20th century, and how they got that way.

Very enjoyable. Likable characters with lots of history lessons.

So far - an interesting take from a non chessplayer. Many reviewers have been disappointed that it's not a game-by-game analysis of the match. No, he uses the match as a catalyst, and looks at a much broader picture. However, it does read like the magazine article that it originally was.

So far it’s quite the political polemic. It’s definitely from the 1970s where being against nuclear (fission) plants was all the rage.

A truly wonderful book! You can learn not only the history of cosmology (at least up to 1990), but also the deepest thoughts and feelings of these cosmologists - some of the most brilliant and imaginative minds ever.

This is the one book from my undergraduate career that I sold back. I didn't like it at all. But now I'm going to be teaching this course. I'm going to use a different book, but I'd like to try and see why I disliked it so much. So I thought I'd re-read it and form a new opinion.

Breaking time up into powers of ten is much less interesting than the spatial scale. Their choice of `events' that take a certain amount of time seem to be fairly random, and there's no overarching theme. I guess that's just the nature of time. For me, not worth reading.
