The best car book is "The Fastest Men on Earth--A Hundred Years of the
Land Speed Record" by Peter J. R. Holthusen (has a forward by Art Arfons and
many great photos that are tecnically interesting )
technical books:
--"Elements of Rocket Propulsion" by George P. Sutton
--"Magnetohydrodynamic Energy Conversion" by Richard J. Rosa
--"Transport Phenomena" by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot
And if DrMayf really wants to increase his entropy and fall asleep,I
recommend "Tables of Functions" by Jahnke and Emde
other non-fiction:
--"Broca's Brain" by Carl Sagan
--"The Second Creation" by Crease & Mann (lots of great stories about the
characters who revolutionized physics in the 20th century )
fiction:
--"The Ice People" by Rene Barjavel (scifi)
--"Inherit the Stars" by James P. Hogan ( and several more,scifi)
--"The Skystone" by Jack Whyte ( the first of seven volumes on the
beginning of King Arthur's Britain--very good historical fiction,no hokey
fantasy stuff )
--"Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephenson (interest,weird, thought-provoking )
