This book is a controversial and honest account of what we really know about nature and what is the real status of the new ideas proposed in the last quarter century. The Trouble with Physics will include intimate portraits of many of the leading figures in string theory, quantum gravity and cosmology.

Julie & Julia
My Year of Cooking Dangerously
By Julie Powell
Trapped in a boring job and living in a tiny apartment in New York, Julie Powell regularly finds herself weeping on the way home from work. Then one night, through her mascara-smudged eyes, she begins to cook and The Project is born. This is Julie's story, as gradually, from oeufs en cocotte to bifstek sauté au beurre, from 'Bitch Rice' to preparing live lobsters, she realises that this deranged Project is changing her life. The richness of the thousands of sauces she slaves over is beginning to spread into her life, and she begins to find the joie de vivre that has been missing for too many years.
