In PA, the libraries' reading program is about science. I read the book, "Life as we do not know it" and want a book explaining nanotechnology and a book about the mapped genome. Since I have no clue where to begin, I hope you could suggest a book in each category.

I took advanced biology, chemistry, math and physics in high school and college.

I have 4 pages of words, concepts to look up from "Life as we do not know it."

I would appreciate your input.

Thank you,

Marsha

Hi,
To clarify, I would rather not have a textbook, but one that explains these subjects in a scientific manner that would be on the best sellers list. I don't sound too clear.
Maybe a beginners book but with science in it and explanations. I still don't sound clear.
Please help.
 
Sounds like a great book. Thank you for replying.
 
i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
