The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory by Brian R. Greene
This new popular guide to string theory is absolutely essential reading. There have been transformative theoretical discoveries made by string theorists in the last few years -- insights that have changed the way theoretical physicists think about spacetime itself. String theorist Brian Greene has both the expertise and the flair to compose a compelling and highly readable portrait of the "cutting edge of the cutting edge" in theoretical physics.

The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking, author of the bestselling A Brief History of Time, has a new betselling book about the Universe and the mysteries of spacetime. This book is much easier to understand than his previous one, with many charts and illustrations. This is a great addition to anyone's home library, anyone who wants to know where the state of the art stands in the science and theory of the cosmos on a scale of all eternity.

DVD- Stephen Hawking's Universe by Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking, author of the bestselling A Brief History of Time, presents in this set of DVD's of his documentary series some of the most astonishing scientific advances in cosmological thought. Interviews with renowned researchers combined with strikingly artistic cinematography set the stage for this down-to-earth production on the mysteries of our universe. Hawking's series is easy to follow, but it doesn't skimp on scientific detail or shy away from challenging concepts. An outstanding tour of the universe!.

DVD - Life Beyond Earth by Timothy Ferris
The question of whether we are alone in the universe has intrigued humanity for centuries, and journalist Timothy Ferris presents an extensive look at the quandary in this fascinating and beautifully produced program from PBS. Ferris, as an engaging and inquisitive host, begins by discussing the development of life and the theory of evolution, as what we know about life on Earth could indicate whether it's possible for life to have developed elsewhere. the DVD is filled with startling and beautiful special effects as well as gorgeous footage shot both on Earth and in space. This is an excellent documentary that also happens to be a pleasure to watch.

The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory by Brian R. Greene
This new popular guide to string theory is absolutely essential reading. There have been transformative theoretical discoveries made by string theorists in the last few years -- insights that have changed the way theoretical physicists think about spacetime, about strings, and the role played by black holes and other black objects. String theorist Brian Greene has both the technical expertise and the artistic flair to compose a compelling and highly readable portrait of the "cutting edge of the cutting edge" in theoretical physics.

Three Roads to Quantum Gravity by Lee Smolin
Even without the help of string theory, mixing the ideas of quantum mechanics with the mathematics of general relativity poses thorny questions about the meaning of spacetime geometry, measurement and existence. In this book, Professor Lee Smolin of Penn State tells the story of the three main assaults that physicists and mathematicians have waged on this difficult front of physics in the postmodern world.

A Brief History of Time - 10th Anniversary edition by Stephen Hawking
In the decade since its publication in 1988, this classic work has introduced the theoretical physics of space and time to a great many people on our Planet, with more than nine million copies in forty languages sold worldwide. But those ten years also saw the dramatic developments in string theory, most notably the advances in understanding black hole entropy. In this 10th anniversary edition of his book, Hawking updates the audience on the progress made in this area and tells us how many of his own predictions turned out to be right.
