Not strictly a SF book but Asimov's answers to questions in various scientific disciplines. This is a must-read for all writers and readers of science fiction, as well as anyone who wants to wrap their head around the fundamental physics of the universe and life as we know it.

How did life begin? What is the fourth dimension? Is the universe running down? What are imaginary numbers? What is the Solar wind? How will the Earth end? What is cosmic dust and where does it come from? What happens to all the energy emitted by the stars? etc...

Science fact from the master of science fiction and no one explains science better than Isaac Asimov, to most he was a science fiction writer, but his greatest contribution to the world was in explaining science to others.
