Ray Villard and Lynette R. Cooks' Infinite Worlds: An Illustrated Voyage to Planets Beyond Our Sun. A wonderfully illustrated and fascinating account of worlds that may exist circling other stars, some of them unimaginably strange.

Michael Crightons new novel State of Fear. An exciting adventure story in which the villains are extreme environmentalists! A debunking of the man-made global warming theory, with convincing science.

 

Reginald Turnill's The Moonlandings: An Eyewitness Account (foreword by Buzz Aldrin).

An extremely well-written and highly personal history of America’s manned space programme, with narrative accounts of all the major missions. Full of good reporting and amusing anecdotes.

Michio Kaku’s Parallel Worlds: The Science of Alternative Universes and Our Future in the Cosmos is a lucid and exciting discussion of of how parallel realities exist all around us.

Patrick Moore, Atlas of the Universe (1994). A useful and well-illustrated guide of many interesting objects in the cosmos. With star charts of both hemispheres.

Ed Regis, Nano: The True Story of Nanotechnology - The Astonishing New Science that will Transform the World. The prospects for ``molecular machines'', sub-microscopic devices that will manipulate atoms.

Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space. An eloquent prophecy whose title speaks for itself. The ``pale blue dot'' is Earth seen from afar.

David G. Stork (editor), HAL's Legacy: 2001's Computer as Dream and Reality. How we might build machines as terrifyingly intelligent as the ``character'' in the greatest of SF films.

Arthur C. Clarke: Profiles of the Future: An Enquiry into Limits of the Possible.

Robert Zubrin and Richard Wagner, The Case for Mars: The Plan to Settle the Red Planet and Why we Must. Another title that speaks for itself.

Martin Gardner, Relativity Simply Explained. Enabling everyone to understand Einstein's theories, without mathematics or technicalities.

Lawrence M. Krauss, The Physics of Star Trek. Scottie would explode like an atom bomb if you tried to ``beam him up.''

John S. Lewis, Mining the Sky: Untold Riches from the Asteroids, Comets and Planets.

Eugene Mallove and Gregory Matloff, The Starflight Handbook: A Pioneer's Guide to Interstellar Flight. Technical in parts, but fascinating. Don't leave the solar system without it.
