Google books

It is a great effort from Google.
The other day I read "einstein's - relativity special and general theory" from Google books.
Also it is easier to read from screen sometimes than holding books.
I can watch say bbc news on the side in the same screen.
I don't know what they gain from this.
But a great effort nevertheless.

God Created The Integers

God Created The Integers: The Mathematical Breakthroughs That Changed History

Edited by Stephen Hawking

it is one of the most beautiful books [or rather collection] I read. It has great works from all the mathematicians! you really come to understand what people like Euclid, Archimedes or Descartes did!

what is the big deal about drawing to straight lines at right angles and calling them x and y respectively, right?

You will really appreciate how intelligent ancients [India, Greece etc.] were.

Must have for every mathematics or science enthusiast!
