About the Collection

Carlo Rovelli is a theoretical physicist whose writing combines modern physics with history, philosophy and accessible explanations of complex scientific ideas.

Reality Is Not What It Seems traces the development of ideas about reality, from ancient atomism through modern physics and the search for a theory of quantum gravity.

The Order of Time examines our everyday understanding of time and how physics, including relativity and quantum theory, challenges that intuitive picture.

Seven Brief Lessons on Physics provides a concise introduction to major ideas in modern physics, including general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes and cosmology.

Together, these three books offer complementary introductions to some of the fundamental questions of physics and our understanding of the universe.

Customer photo review of Stormlight Archives HC Box Set 1-4: The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Oathbringer, Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive)

I’m so unbelievably stoked and happy about both sets the Mistborn and the Storm Light archives hardback books that I got from the reading spa. I just randomly fell across the reading spa in searching for these quality of books and the reading spa has far surpassed my expectations. I am really excited to continue to fill my library with hardcover books from the reading spa for years to come. Great prices, the books are an amazing shape and a brand new and they shipped them to you quickly. Thank you again for being a place I can count on for good quality, hardcover books.!

Thanks again, we are stoked that you are our customer.

These are such beautiful books. I just wish I had them all when my five kids were small. We were given eight over the years as gifts from various people. I have a large, hardbound book with all the stories in it. These stories are good for everyone to read, no matter what their age. Little kids like the nursery rhymes and bigger kids like the sass of Squirrel Nutkin. Thank you for having these books; I thought there was no place to get them but England.
