A good scientific book is a book is one that have that extra spark of inspiration that will challenge and extend the reader. Generally scientific books include a dictating approach to make their topic lucid for the readers. Although, this technique is useful for the reader who needs to search out facts, unfortunately it is of little help to teach the process of science thinking or the feeling that scientists have for their subject. A good scientific book not only provides the reader with the true information, but it also they also show how beautiful, intricate and interlinked physical existence is.
The different types or categories of scientific books that are available are:-
1. Physics Books
The organized way of conversing with nature is known as Physics. The application of Physics is the prime reason for the development of the world in which we live in . It is only because of the use of Physics that the people can live such an easy and luxurious life. In some areas it is a difficult subject, in others easy, but always it is self consistent and able to explain many aspects of nature.
Some of the evergreen books bases on Physics are as follows:-
1 The Elegant Universe (Amazon, Amazon UK)
Brian Greene (Vintage)
2 The Pleasure of Finding Things Out (Amazon, Amazon UK)
Richard Feynman (Allen Lane The Penguin Press)
3 A Brief History of Time (Amazon, Amazon UK)

4 The End of Time (Amazon, Amazon UK)
Julian Barbour (Phoenix Press)
5 Hyperspace (Amazon, Amazon UK)

7 The Meaning of It All (Amazon, Amazon UK)
Richard Feynman (Penguin)
8 Chaos (Amazon, Amazon UK)
James Gleick (Minerva)
9 Lucifer's Legacy (Amazon, Amazon UK)
Frank Close (Oxford University Press)
10 The Odd Quantum (Amazon, Amazon UK)
Sam Treiman (Princeton University Press).
2. Biology Books
Biology is a word which has been derived from the Greek words /bios/ meaning /life/ and /logos/ meaning /study. It also is defined as the science of life and living organisms. Biology is that part of science which deals with the study of molecular mechanisms in cells, the classification and behavior of organisms. It also explains the whole process of how the species evolve and how they interaction between ecosystems.
The whole study of biology can be divided into the following disciplines:-
- Ethology
- Evolutionary Biology
- Physiology
- Genetics
- Molecular Biology
- Morphology
- Systematics
- Ecology.
Some of the evergreen books based on Biology have been given below:-

3. Chemistry Books
The study of matter and the reactions that matter undergoes is defined as Chemistry. The major application of chemistry is in a chemical and pharmaceutical industry for the very purpose of preparing new plastics, coatings, ceramics, drugs, fillers, alloys, etc. The real relevance of Chemistry lies in the fact that it serves as the interface to practically all of the other sciences, as well as to many other areas of human endeavor. The role of Chemists is more significant in the world around us than what we might realize. Chemistry is involved in everything from the synthetic fibres in our shirt to the aspirin we take for a headache.
There are many branches that are there underneath the main subject of Chemistry:-
Analytical Chemistry, Food & Cooking Chemistry, Astrochemistry, Geochemistry, Biochemistry, History of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, InorganicChemistry, Jewelry Chemistry, Metals & Alloys chemistry, Chromatography ,Organic Chemistry, Crystallography , Physical Chemistry / Thermo , Electrochemistry, Polymers , Environmental Chemistry, Spectroscopy, Fireworks & Pyrotechnics.
Following are the names of some of the best Chemistry Books:-
- Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry (8th
Edition) by Karen C. Timberlake;
- Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity (with CD-ROM) by John C. Kotz, Paul M. Treichel;
- Essential Algebra for Chemistry Students by David W. Ball, Paul M. Treichel, Gabriela C. Weaver;
- Chemistry: Principles and Reactions by William L. Masterton, Cecile N. Hurley;
- The Principles of Chemical Equilibrium : With Applications in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering by K. G. Denbigh.
Famous Theories
1. Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory was suggested by the greatest sciencetist of all time Albert Einstein. The Big Bang Model is accepted as the theory for the origin and evolution of our universe. This theory explains that about 12 to 14 billion years ago, the portion of the universe that we can see today was only a few millimeters across. Our planet has from that point of time expanded from that hot dense state into the vast and much cooler cosmos in which we live in. The remnants of this hot dense matter is visible even now, as the now very cold cosmic microwave background radiation which still exist in our universe and is visible to microwave detectors as a uniform glow across the entire sky.
The name of the books recommended for this theory are:-
- Big Bang Theory (Library Binding)
by Gerry Bailey.
- The Big Bang Theory
By: Fox, Karen C.
Published By: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
2. Theory Of Relativity
This theory was introduced in 1915. The concept of relativity was not introduced by Einstein, but we cannot ignore his presence in this theory of relativity because he had recognized the fact that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and an absolute physical boundary for motion.
In the end we can say that Scientific Books play a very significant role in the life of each and every one of us in some way or the other. Thus it is very important for all of us to have an exact idea about this topic. Moreover we can also reap many benefits from these books by simply understanding and following the concepts laid down by these books.
The suggested readings for this theory are:-
- Theory of Relativity (Paperback)
By W. Pauli (Author)
- A Theory of Relativity
By Jacquelyn Mitchard
