Books: The Physics Of Star Trek
The following is a book I've read and reviewed. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not selling books. Knowing four languages, I have access to quite a large amount of books that have never been translated in English, which is the strong point of this list: to give a broader look to what's published.

Description: we all know Star Trek is fiction, but warp drives and transporters and holodecks don't seem that implausible. Are any of these futuristic inventions fundamentally outlawed by physics, as we understand it today? The book takes a look at this subject, speculating on how the wonders of Star Trek technology might actually work and, in some cases, revealing why the inventions are impossible or impractical even for an advanced civilization.
At least, this book deserves merit for providing a refresher course on topics such as relativity and antimatter, even thou many readers are Star Trek fans.
Without taking trekkie technology for granted, I think it is a fun reading for anyone interested in ufology: Krauss may offer some insights into the future of technology (and into UFO technology). Front cover is very cool.
