Professional Reviews

| : |
Bartusiak, Marcia, Washington Post: "Greene does an admirable job of translating a wholly mathematical endeavor into visual terms. Throughout his work, He writes with poetic eloquence and style. Yet his desire to reach the general reader may be overly ambitious. His discussions of gauge symmetries and Calabi-Yau geometries will be bests appreciated by the science minded who seek an insider's perspective on the cutting edge of physics." |

| Publisher's Note: |
Calling it a cover-up would be far too dramatic. But for more than half a century--even in the midst of some of the greatest scientific achievements in history--physicists have been quietly aware of a dark cloud looming on a distant horizon. |
| More Information |
| Details: |
Einstein was simply ahead of his time. More than a half a century later, his dream of a unified theory has become the Holy Grail of modern physics. And a sizeable part of the physics and mathematics community is becoming increasingly convinced that string theory may provide the answer. From one principle--that everything at its most microscopic level consists of combinations of vibrating strands--string theory provides a single explanatory framework capable of encompassing all forces and all matter. |
