There are many science books out there, especially popular science books from which one may turn to in order to obtain a lay-persons working knowledge of certain scientific concepts. But, how does one pick a specific book without being disappointed, since most of the reivews that one will find on each book will be positive!

I suggest that we could have a subforum on this topic, in which perhaps one member could write a brief review on a popular science (or even an introductory science) book, and then other members who have read the book could add their comments in an attempt to assist people in choosing a book tailored to their own specific needs.

I invite anyone else's comments on this: whether they would find it useful, or would like to participate in this: perhaps we could discuss a book each month that is relevant to the monthly theme? Of course, I don't know if this has been tried before and deemed unsuccessful, so apologies if this is the case! I personally feel that an introductory knowledge of different areas of science is imperitive to anyone who is working to find a theory of everything, and this is one way in which people could choose a book with some prior knowledge to its relevance.
