I first saw an interview with Michio Kaku on the Science Channel and was immediately interested in him and his ideas. When the cover caught my eye in the bookstore I just had to read it.

from Bantam
Price: $12.24
Customer Review:
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

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.

Customer Review:
It seemed a high price for a small paper back, but I've found it to be very much worth the cost. Whether you're a student new to the subject or a professional looking for a quick review, this is an excellent text. Short, too the point and clearly written, it is exactly as advertised.
