Last week I was cataloguing books donated to the library. These books are often a bit older but there are some "goodies" among them.
Universe on a T-shirt: The Quest for the Theory of Everything / Dan Falk
QC 173.7 F34 2002
This book is as much about history as it is about science. Dan Falk tells the story of the search for a unified “Theory of Everything” from the Ancient Greeks to the current efforts to merge quantum theory with general relativity.
The Voyage of the "Fox" in the Arctic Seas: A Narrative of the Discovery of the Fate of Sir John Franklin and His Companions / Captian M'Clintock
G 665 1857 M165 1972
This is a reprint of Francis Leopold M’Clintock’s 1857-59 journals from his voyage into the Arctic to discover the fate of the Franklin Expedition. It also documents many other discoveries about traveling and living in the North made along the way.
Wanderlust: A History of Walking / Rebecca Solnit
GV 199.5 S65 2002
Walking seems like such a simple thing but this book examines it’s the historical, cultural, sexual political, literary, sociological and philosophical aspects.
