In this section, we review gems of books in science. These are not college books. In fact they are not needed for an A in your science exam. But, we believe that a wonderwhizkid must aim for something more than an A.
  
She must know what it is to be an achiever:
 
arrow Long hours of hardwork for excellence,
arrow Passion to the field chosen and
arrow Compassion to the fellow human beings.
 
We select books that we believe inspire you in that path. We don't review any more than one book a month. We recommend that you read one book a month. These books must be available in paperback, so if possible, own your copy.
 
If you buy using our link, you can support this portal in a very kind way and we appreciate that. If you cannot afford the paperback, check out the libraries or old book store or ask a friend. But, you must develop the habit of reading one book a month. Our editors choose them extremely carefully to ensure that you have the best.
 
Let us start the first start with the book that is the inspiration for this portal
 
A true scientist doesn't do science for a living. Most often she does science to seek the truth that nobody knew before. It is the thrill, the joy and the divine (Feynman allows us to use religious terms freely while discussing science and hence, we believe that we are allowed to say “divine feeling”) feeling of oneness with the nature that drives them to do physics.
 
In fact, the master puts it in the best possible way: The pleasure of finding things is to realize more and more that “you are an universe of atoms and an atom in the universe” Richard Feynman is considered as one of the greatest physicists the world had seen.
 
Apart from a Nobel Prize in quantum electrodynamics, this genius is equally popular with his books, maverick lifestyle and unquestionable passion for living the scientific way. In every page of this book, we see his quick, sharp wit, his devotion to his work, and his unwillingness to bow to social pressure or convention.
 
For the most part the book is easygoing and engaging on a personal rather than a scientific level. For the wonderwhizkids, the tough sections also will become quite enjoyable.
