- On Physics and Philosophy: Bernard d'Espagnat
This highly credentialed French physicist applies the disciplines of quantum field theory and philosophy to refute assumptions commonly held by scientists, philosophers, and lay people about what is "real," and to sort out such views as are consonant with experimental data. I take pleasure in D'Espangnat's clean writing, his dedication to accuracy, and his insistence on addressing the ground from which our concepts arise. Here D'Espagnat expands on his earlier work regarding "veiled reality." The book is accessible to lay intellectuals who like to savor ideas and reflect on them.

- Our Mathematical Universe
My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality: Max Tegmark: Max Tegmark leads us on an astonishing journey through past, present and future, and through the physics, astronomy and mathematics that are the foundation of his work, most particularly his hypothesis that our physical reality is a mathematical structure and his theory of the ultimate multiverse.

- Voyage from the Brain to the Soul--Giulio Tononi
From one of the most original and influential neuroscientists at work today, here is an exploration of consciousness unlike any other—as told by Galileo, who opened the way for the objectivity of science and is now intent on making subjective experience a part of science as well. From a review at http://www.nature.com.proxy-um.researchport.umd.edu/nature/journal/v488/n7409/full/488029a.html?WT.ec_id=NATURE-20120802: "Tononi, a neuroscientist, psychiatrist and expert on sleep and consciousness, is also that rarest of modern scholars — an idealist."
