Anyone interested in a first hand account of NASA‘s robotic missions to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn will find Moon Hunters: NASA’s Remarkable Expeditions to the Ends of the Solar System by Jeffrey Kluger to be a great read. Various moons, like Europa and Titan, may harbor forms of life and the only way to find out is to explore them. The book narrates the discoveries of various probes, such as Ranger, Voyager, and Galileo.
Probably my favorite book by Leon Lederman, The God Particle provides a fascinating summary of modern physics accessible to all readers. Anyone interested in understanding the Standard Model should check out this book. In fact, this book should be read by any student beginning a course in physics.

Anyone interested in modern theories of physics should read Leon Lederman’s book, Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe. In this book Lederman clearly explains how the idea of symmetry has helped physicists understand the universe. Crucial to his explanation is Noether’s Theorem.
