Candid Science VI 
More Conversations with Famous Scientists
by István Hargittai & Magdolna Hargittai
"Relaxed, doubtless, by the deadpan Hargittai sense of humour, these scientists are remarkably revealing about the freedoms and constraints of later 20th century science. Candid science VI weighs 1.7kg, but is difficult to put down."

Is Science Neurotic?
by Nicholas Maxwell
"Maxwell's aspirations are extraordinarily and admirably ambitious. He intends to contribute towards articulating and bringing about a form of social progress that embodies rationality and wisdom ... by raising the question of how to integrate science into wisdom-inquiry and constructing novel and challenging arguments in answer to it, Maxwell is drawing our attention to issues that need urgent attention in the philosophy of science."

Discovery of Cosmic Fractals
by Yurij Baryshev & Pekka Teerikorpi
"... this book by two astronomers is the first comprehensive and self-contained account of the development of the cosmological ideas which could be sorted out under the concept of fractality. It is a splendid piece of a scholarly work ... the book is aimed at the general academic readership, but I believe that those actively engaged in modern cosmology research will find many parts revealing and relevant to their work."
