I just love this book. The title of the book is just apt with the content that he is presenting. His style has really made the name worth... the book is just elegant.
The book is about the concepts of modern therory of the sub-atomic world and the quest for the "Grand Unified theory." He speaks in very simple and clear method which makes the book all the more interesting.
Brian is one of the experts in the domain of "String Theory", this is thought to be "The Theory" that would lead us to a better understanding of the universe and find the single theread that could bind all the theories togather and give an explanation to all the observations using this single theory.
Brian has a very clear understanding about the concepts of Physics. I just love the way way he has expalined the concepts of relativity.. hez made it more clear than other books which I have read. He doesnt follow th eusungl style of assuming we send one person into space and things like that, but rather uses simple analogies to get the concept clear. The other part where he shows his brilliance in explaining the concept of plank's constant. He then gets the concepts of dimentions that are curled up and things like it to explain the string theory.. as this theory has in itself 11 dimentions!!!, but he makes it look easy by the way he explains.
He later goes on to inform the reader about the differnt parts of this string theory and their various implications. He also gets a small amount of science to make information more complete.
If you like physics and want to know much more about the modern developments in the latest attempt of grand unified theory... this is a must read... Nothing like it for a beginner. I advise you to go have a go at this book if you love physics.
