Books of Science are a set of rare artifacts that can be found throughout the galaxy in the Space Stage of Spore.

The combined value of the Books of Science is 450,000 and doubles with Scientist empires. Having all of them in the cargo hold simultaneously will sell for 4,500,000.

List

Name	Description	Value
Book of Science Pt. 1	“What do you believe? And how much are you willing to risk on that belief? Would you risk your existence, and the existence of your species, on a hunch? A whim? The word of a prophet a thousand years dead?”	45,000 (90,000 for Scientist empires)
Book of Science Pt. 2	“The survival of a species is about managing risk. The more you know about the universe, and the more you know about yourself and your own capabilities, the better you can calculate the risk yourself.”	45,000 (90,000 for Scientist empires)
Book of Science Pt. 3	“Knowledge can be obtained through a process of investigation, observation, the gathering of empirical data, reason, hypothesis, and the testing of the hypothesis.”	45,000 (90,000 for Scientist empires)
Book of Science Pt. 4	“Anything else is a guess. You might be good at guessing- but one wrong guess, at any time, can doom your species.”	45,000 (90,000 for Scientist empires)
Book of Science Pt. 5	“Was it prophets and mystics who gave us electricity, antibiotics, modern signatation, aerospace science, and digital timepieces? No. It was those who proceeded rationally, building on the work of others to create new wonders.”	45,000 (90,000 for Scientist empires)
Book of Science Pt. 6	“That is why we proceed only from what we know, and why we constantly test what we believe to be true. We are rigorous with the truth, and ruthless.”	45,000 (90,000 for Scientist empires)
Book of Science Pt. 7	“The universe is no place for amateurs. Learn all you can, abolish your prejudices, and then act.”	45,000 (90,000 for Scientist empires)
Book of Science Pt. 8	“The Grox are an experiment that has not yet run its course.”	45,000 (90,000 for Scientist empires)
Book of Science Pt. 9	“The Grox are a machine race that guard the center of the galaxy against all life-forms. It is not known whether their ultimate objective is to prevent us from breaking in, or to prevent something else from breaking out.”	45,000 (90,000 for Scientist empires)
Book of Science Pt. 10	“Some of our theoreticians suggest that the motivation for the Grox's actions may lie in the difference between machines and organic life, though there seems to be no way to test this hypothesis.”	45,000 (90,000 for Scientist empires)
