I've not read Kip Thorne's books, but his name is familiar from some of the documentaries I've watched about physics and cosmology. We had the fun of attending a talk by Neil deGrasse Tyson eight or ten years ago, when we were homeschooling our daughter Robin. At the time, Robin was very interested in cosmology and astrophysics, so it was a great experience for all of us.Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-37132030955307129012018-07-27T14:08:39.768-07:002018-07-27T14:08:39.768-07:00I really got into physics and astronomy several ye...I really got into physics and astronomy several years ago and read a lot of books about it...but the kind of books that scientists write specifically for non-scientists. :DLark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-36241554040034722062018-07-27T14:07:08.074-07:002018-07-27T14:07:08.074-07:00Thanks!
