| Title | Science of interstellar |
| Author(s) | Kip Thorne |
| Publication | London, W. W. Norton & Company, 2014. |
| Description | x, 324p. |
| Abstract Note | Interstellar, from acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, takes us on a fantastic voyage far beyond our solar system. Yet in The Science of Interstellar, Kip Thorne, the physicist who assisted Nolan on the scientific aspects ofInterstellar, shows us that the movieâs jaw-dropping events and stunning, never-before-attempted visuals are grounded in real science. Thorne shares his experiences working as the science adviser on the film and then moves on to the science itself. In chapters on wormholes, black holes, interstellar travel, and much more, Thorneâs scientific insightsâmany of them triggered during the actual scripting and shooting of Interstellarâdescribe the physical laws that govern our universe and the truly astounding phenomena that those laws make possible |

| Title | How It ends: From you to the universe |
| Author(s) | Chris Impey |
| Publication | New York, W. W. Norton & Company, 2011. |
| Description | 352p. |
| Abstract Note | The fascinating science behind the eventual end to everything-from the individual to all existence.
Although we may try to keep it tucked at the back of our minds, most of us are aware of our own mortality. But few among us know what science, with the help of insights yielded from groundbreaking new research, has to say about death on a larger scale. Enter astronomer Chris Impey, who chronicles the death of the whole shebang: individual, species, biosphere, earth, sun, Milky Way, and, finally, the entire universe.
With a healthy dose of humor, How It Ends illuminates everything from the technologies of human life extension and the evolutionary arms race between microbes and men to the inescapable dimming of the sun and the ultimate "big rip," giving us a rare glimpse into a universe without us |
