Probably one of the best books I have read in a long time, Atomic Awakening: A New Look at the History and Future of Nuclear Power by James Mahaffey takes the reader on a grand journey. Covering in great detail almost every single development leading to the nuclear reactor, any intellectual will find this book to be a great pleasure to read.

Being alive in this century of massive human growth and progress, we sometimes need a reminder that our actions and decisions shape the future of the entire Earth. This reminder came to my attention while reading Countdown: Our Last, Best Hope for a Future on Earth?, by Alan Weisman. After reading, I was struck by an urge to find ways to help the Earth’s environment and I posted a suggestion on my blog. This is my first foray into the category of Environmental, Conservation, and Ecology. I will be looking for a new book to read on these subjects in the near future.
Fascinating book: Mathematics of Harmony by Alexey Stakhov. I found this book while doing some research on Elliott Waves. Other topics of interest: Golden Ratio and Fibonacci p-codes. Chapter nine is fascinating and it’s incredible that George M. Bergman was only twelve years old when he published the paper, A number system with an irrational base.
Who is Alexey Stakhov? Do a Google search on him to learn more about this scientist with over 500 publications, 14 books, and 65 international patents. Note: Do a Google search for the book’s ISBN number: 981277582X to find a pdf on DepositFiles 🙂
Steven Pinker’s book, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence has Declined, provides a revolutionary new perspective concerning the history of violence in the human race. Probably one of the most insightful books I have read, it is definitely worth the time to read.
For my first book by Stephen Jay Gould, I randomly chose Bully for Brontosaurus. This collection of essays provides thought provoking stories in human and biological history. I look forward to reading more of Gould’s works.
