This is a collection of books related to the various categories in this site. You can buy these books from Amazon.com by clicking on the titles and a small percentage of the purchase price will go towards the costs of running the site.

You may wonder why I have listed some books that are not recommended. There will not be many of them, and they are here because I don't want to be accused of ignoring opposing points of view and, as people are going to buy them, I rather like the irony of the situation anyway.

Book of the Week

Unweaving the Rainbow : Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder by Richard Dawkins. Believers in superstition and magic often accuse scientists, atheists and other rational thinkers of denying or even destroying mystery and beauty. Dawkins points out in this book that there is so much wonder and excitement in truth and reality that it is unnecessary to make up explanations.
