I’m very pleased to report that “Waves in an Impossible Sea“, my book about the universe and its secret role in every aspect of daily life, has been selected by the Wall Street Journal as one of “10 Books to Read Now: Science and Technology”.

The full list and the reviews are behind a paywall, but you can see the titles of the books even before the paywall. The other nine are:

  • Supremacy, by Parmy Olson
  • Escape from Shadow Physics, by Adam Forrest Kay
  • Putting Ourselves Back in the Equation, by George Musser
  • Count Down, by Sarah Scoles
  • Magic Pill, by Johann Hari
  • Superconvergence, by Jamie Metzl
  • The Afterlife of Data, by Carl Öhman
  • Read Dead’s History, by Tore C. Olsson
  • Who Wrote This, by Naomi S. Baron

Ten books to keep our minds active and up-to-date! We all have some reading to do…

    1. It deserves to be there. I’m an avid reader of physics books and I’ve yet to see any other book explain particle (wavicle?) physics in such an easily digestible fashion.

      The only other science book that has made me feel the same way is H.A. Rey’s The Stars with its guide to star gazing and explaining of celestial mechanics.
