I'm a big fan of the writings of Cliff Pickover. Cliff is known in the blogosphere through his site Reality Carnival, since long in my list of Recommended Blogs. The Math Book, The Physics Book and The Medical Book are part of my library.
And now there's The Book of Black. From the Black Hole of Calcutta and the Dark Side of the Moon to Black Bart, Black Beauty, and Black Sabbath, this book sheds light on the worlds of science, history, art, and philosophy. It's an unusual and historic journey through curious, amusing, and important topics related to black.
