Do Aliens Speak Physics?
By Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner, Do Aliens Speak Physics asks whether we could use physics to make mental and scientific contact with aliens when they arrive. To answer this question, they investigate how much our humanity has colored our physics, and how alien we might expect alien physics to be!
A City On Mars
By Kelly and Zach Weinersmith, A City on Mars investigates whether the dream of new worlds won’t create nightmares, both for settlers and the people they leave behind. In the process, the Weinersmiths answer every question about space you’ve ever wondered about, and many you’ve never considered.
