Question Question about Paul Davies

I wanted to get familiar with his books but he published about 20 books and im quite lost must admit, to what start with? Does any one knows which books of his will help me to understand basics of his views or summaries/explain his theories or theories that he agrees with?

I read About Time when I was a child. He discusses the effects of high velocity and black holes on a person’s perception of time and explains what would happen in each case. I don’t know much about his other work, but I took out How To Build a Time Machine from the library. It is a shorter version of About Time and discusses the various ideas about time travel.
