3. The Theory Of Everything: The Origin And Fate Of The Universe + Relativity

This book combo brings together the best of works by two of the most renowned scientists. The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe explored Black Hole and big bang as well as ideologies about the Universe as envisioned by Aristotle, Augustine, Hubble, Newton, and Einstein. All these narratives have been stitched together to create a theory of the origin of everything as the author, Stephen Hawking, strongly believes that the origin might not necessarily be from a singular event.

On the other hand, Relativity: The Special and General Theory by Albert Einstein describes the theories that made the author famous. This book is not a casual reading and is ideal for those who appreciate Einstein's work without viewing his theories from a more mathematically accurate point of view.

4. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

One of the best-selling books of all time from the science, non-fiction category, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind takes readers through the journey of human civilisation over two and a half million years ago. Authored by Yuval Noah, a historian and intellectual from Jerusalem, it throws light on the fact the current race of humans or the Homo sapiens are the last surviving species of the genus Homo and that it is possible for some of the humans to be an inter-species progeny of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals.

Other than a brief history of humankind, the book explores cognitive evolution of humans, agriculture revolution, as well as ponders over a possible future. It wouldn't be wrong to say the book bridges the gaps between history, biology, physics, and economy; and that's what makes it unique. The book is currently discounted to Rs. 335.

5. Guns, Germs, and Steel

'A book of big questions, and big answers” this is what Yuval Noah Harari, the author of the bestseller Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind had to say about this book. Bringing together history, biology, ecology and linguistics, the book explores how geography and biogeography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and aboriginal Australians. Authored by Jared Diamond, the book is a Pulitzer winner.
