from Doubleday
Price: $17.79
Customer Review:
Do not listen to the naysayers. Most of the negative comments by above reviewers seem to come from those physics elitists who may (or may not) already know a lot about the discipline. But for those who either don't care or weren't paying attention Dr. Kaku has dedicated a lot just trying to get... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Just as he did with "Franklin", Isaacson takes a well chronicled subject and finds new and interesting facts and anecdotes never before published. A must read. | 4.5 / 5.0

Very informative and fun to read. Gets a little hard to understand at times because what Hawking is trying to explain is not trivial at all, but he does a great job at explaining it. | 4.5 / 5.0

An absolutely wonderful book; however, the numerous printing imperfections encountered (odd smudges, smears, and stains) have significantly detracted from the reading experience.
The book states that it was printed in China and it shows--really bad for a new book.
Perhaps whoever printed... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
This is a tour de force of explaining the great effort to unified all fields of physics through the superstring theory. Needless to say, it is an extremely difficult subject and requires a great deal of technical knowledge and imagination to understand. Compounding that difficulty is the fact that... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I have read many general treatments of quantum theory and cosmology (including books by Einstein, Feynman, Hawking and many others, including previous books by Brian Greene) and in my opinion this is the best of the lot.
