| MSL Pointer Review:
An incredible book and a fascinating read that anyone can access, it goes through most of 20th century physics, starting with relativity, then onto quantum mechanics before going full bore into string theory. |

...[a] thoughtful and important book... The Elegant Universe presents the ideas and aspirations - and some of the characters - of string theory with clarity and charm. It is both a personal story and the tale of a great intellectual movement. |

Greene does an admirable job of translating a wholly mathematical endeavor into visual terms. Throughout his work, he writes with poetic eloquence and style. |

String theory is the hottest idea to emerge in physics since Stephen Hawking gazed into a black hole... [Greene] explain[s] it in terms that anyone can understand. |

[A] tour-de-force of science writing. Perhaps more than any other popular-level account, this book peels away layers of detail and reveals the stunning essence of cutting-edge physics. With a rare blend of scientific integrity and literary flair, the author takes us on a whirlwind journey to the forefront of the search for the ultimate theory of the universe. |
