So believe it or not I am really into astrophysics and I found the Neil Degrasse Tyson online course for only $22 (originally $90). I have a lifetime access to it and if I watch everything within 30 days I can ask for my money back no questions asked.

I also have Death By Black Hole by Neil Degrasse Tyson and it is absolutely mind-blowing, but he does cram so much information into his essays.

EDIT: I'm going to sleep and get some rest before I take the course. The Presidential debate gave me a headache that won't go away, lol! ....but I may just read an essay from the book.

Does anyone know any good books on astrophysics, meteorology, zoology, genetics, etc...science and nature?
Thanks for this!

Do we not have a few remaining Barnes and Noble stores left in California ?

Instead of buying books, I just go to my Ventura B and N to read.

Otherwise, yeah, Amazon is great.

You can also, if you really search hard, find eBooks for free on the internet (torrent sites) ... you didn't hear this from me
