Appendix 2
Bibliography
I am not resident at an academic institution, nor do I work for a large company with access to a broad range of journal subscriptions. I have a degree in Physics and Computer Science, so I am no layman. The modern web gives amateurs like me, easy access to enormous information resources that would only have been available from the finest University libraries even five years ago. Over time I have built up a personal library of books in the field, many of them ex-library copies which, by their date stamps, were never borrowed in their home universities!
I’m always skeptical of the enormous bibliographies found in the back of science books and whether they are ever read. If you want a pointer to the next books to read, here are some suggestions: A Brief History of Time, The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, The Emperor’s New Mind, The Naked Jape, Gödel Escher Bach, Proust and the Squid, Logic, A Five Day Course in Thinking, Your Brain on Music, The 4% Universe, From Eternity to Here and Time.
