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.
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
