Re: Good popular books for 6-10 grade

[green320 <green320@RCN.COM>]

With no college courses under my belt, I enjoyed "The God Particle" - Leon
Ledderman, "The 30 Years That Shook Physics" - can't remember, sorry, "What
Do You Care What Other People Think" - Feynman, "Powers of Ten" - Philip &
Phylis Morrison,  "The Guide to The Galaxy" - Henbest & Couper, and there
was one on cloud chambers that I can't find, maybe that was "The 30
Years..", can't remember.
