Even in the most difficult things can be quite easy to understand if you read the right book. As on Earth there are a huge number of scientific and popular literature, in which are described what seems to be a Chinese puzzle. We have collected the top 10 books that will explain to you the complicated things in simple words.
A brief history of time. Stephen HawkingStephen Hawking is a rock star in the world of science. British scientist, occupying the same pulpit, which at the time was led by Isaac Newton, is the subject of gossip, television and movies. And despite the fact that the Hawking is not the first decade in a wheelchair, being almost completely paralyzed.
With the world he communicates with a computer, which controls eye movement. Nevertheless, Stephen Hawking is one of the largest in the world of theoretical physicists and science communicators in General. The most famous popular scientific work of this author is the book "a brief history of time" (the new edition is "the Shortest history of time").
In this work, Hawking simply and clearly describes the secrets of the origin of the Universe and the nature of its existence. He talks about Black holes, string theories, complex mathematical concepts and many other topics. At the same time in the material can handle even a schoolboy – "Multiple history of time" reads like a gripping adventure novel, not as a book about science.
Interestingly, in all of "a Brief history of time" is found only one formula – E=mc2.
What is mathematics? Richard Courant, Herbert RobbinsIt turns out that the mathematics that is taught in school, has a very distant relationship to the fundamental science of the same name. But because a famous German scientist Richard Courant along with coauthor Herbert Robbins decided to write a book that can explain a wide range of readers, what is contemporary mathematics?
The authors begin their narrative with the elementary concepts, and then gradually complicate them, translating the reader with the understanding of the most important and complex problems of modern mathematics.
The book is written in simple and understandable language. And described in her facts seem to be interesting and entertaining even to those who are in the school passed the math three.
How does the economy. Ha-Joong ChangEconomics in the modern world surrounds us on all sides. Absolutely different people are willing to give each other tips on how best to earn and increase money. But only a relatively small number of people really knows and understands how to construct the global economy.
But it is not a mystery. And the famous economist from Cambridge Ha-Joon Chang wrote a book called "How the economy" in which everyone can learn the essence and history of this concept.
Ha-Joon Chang gives readers insight into the history of Economics ("from pin to PIN"), about the main economic theories and practice of their implementation, as well as unhackneyed detail and explains how the economy works in the real world.

history of Europe. Norman DaviesHistory is a science, which may be objective. This idea proves the British scholar Norman Davies, who released a landmark popular science work titled "History of Europe".
In his book, Davis examines the history of the life and coexistence of the peoples living on the vast territory from Iceland to the Volga. The author strongly delves into the facts, trying not to miss any truly significant event from the Paleolithic to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

None of those mentioned in this work of the peoples can not blame the author of the "History of Europe" of bias. The book is based on filigree work with the facts and their interpretation in accordance with the objective laws of logic.

"Hunters for the microbes" is part artwork. The history of the science of Microbiology it is closely intertwined with the stories of scientists-microbiologists – a brave people, who are waging war with infectious diseases, thus preserving Humanity many millions of lives.
De CRUI, it tells the story of scientific discoveries in the field of Microbiology, the scene is deep and dramatic, but often very entertaining, with comedic elements. The book appeared in 1926, but still fun to read – better on the subject since then and have not written.
The anarchist pastry book. William PowellThe book, forbidden for publication and distribution in dozens of countries, including and Russia.
