This being a your personal question for me , I do not know in which way i may justified my action of my reading performance .My interest of reading where well many & for my liking literature of my subjective line, i used to give them the stand in my library

From the Management side & also from my inclination The Science of Astrology i have the collection of  books & for my interest in religion,philosophy ,psychic tech,Hrd ,faith healing & such other subjects,i have covered up the said areas in my reading .

In my school days Dale Carnegie ,Autobiography of Yogi ,& as an ex editor of magazine ,i have had an opportunity to review books on well many authors of repute.

This is my humble suggestion 

In the field of Photonics I can recommend

1. "Fundamentals of Photonics". Authors: Bahaa E. A. Saleh and Malvin Carl Teich.

2. "Optics". Authors: Eugene Hecht.

3. "Silicon Photonics Design: From Devices to Systems". Authors: Lukas Chrostowski, Michael Hochberg.

4. "Handbook of Silicon Photonics". Editors: Lorenzo Pavesi and Laurent Vivient.

Dear RG colleagues

Thank you for your answers, the goal of my question to show which is the best books that can read in any field, may be one like to read about any subject out his line then he can choose right book.

with my best regards 

In fact, I found there are two books are common with Patrick Seglich

# Silicon Photonics Design: From Devices to Systems

# Handbook of Silicon Photonics

the rest of my List:

# Numerical Methods in Photonics

# Electromagnetic Theory and Applications

# Physics of Photonic Devices

Patrick Seglich, Maybe next time we can find the chance to discuss more  on  Silicon Photonics Design: From Devices to Systems book

Finally, I would like to thank Saeed for this question.

Best regards,

In the field of Engineering geology I can recommend

1- Engineering geology  by Bell

2- Engineering geology byDefraits

3-Practical rock engineering  by Bray

4-Rock slopes stability by Hoek and Bray

5-Soil mechanic by Bowels

6- Geology for engineer by Blyth and Defretiz

7-Engineering geology and geotechnics by Krynine and judd

There are a couple of good books known to me in QM. I would say that these are advanced books in the topic,

1. Leslie E. Ballentine, "Quantum Mechanics" - very readable,

2. Asher Peres, "Quantum Theory, Concepts and Methods" - very mathematical.

I also recommend the very useful ''Quantum Mechanics and Path Integral'' by Feynmann & Hibbs.

Besides that, everybody knows the "Quantum Mechanics" of Landau and Lifschitz.

The study of Plant Disease Epidemics by Madden, Hughes and van den Bosch.

Dear Professor Al rashid

I did read many books in many fields 

my wishes

Dear RG Colleagues

Thank you very much 

Thousands of books over a life time, and too many good ones to name them.

In my professional work  Reid and Sherwood, Trebal, Levenspiel, Perry's, CRC, Sax, Crane 410, Norton tower packing, Gulf Publishing series,  Kirk and Othmer, plus thousands of others.

For career development biographies of famous people were helpful John Glenn, Dulles, Donovan, Fermi, Heisenberg, and Rickenbacker, plus hundreds of others

Space and Cosmology research Stephen Hawking Commentary on Einstein, Richard Feynman QED plus his masters thesis and Lectures on Quantum Gravity, Books by Einstein, Max Born Correspondence with Einstein, Paul Dirac book Quantum Mechanics, Richard Tolman book on Thermodynamics and Relativity, Hawking and Penrose book Nature of Space and Time, plus Hawking's book Multilinear Analysis. 

Dear Prof. Saeed,

Few days ago I have finished reading this encyclopedic book " Encyclopedia of Fish Physiology from Genome to Environment" 1st edition which was edited by A. Farrell and released in 2011 with 2272 pages. The three volumes of this book have opened new horizons for my future research. I am planning to write a review of this magnificent book in 2017.
