THE FABRIC OF THE COSMOS

Religion and science agree on one thing: Beyond our perception lies a world very different from our own. This book, says Brian Greene, is about "the men and women of science, who have peeled back layer after layer of the cosmic onion, enigma by enigma, and revealed a universe that is at once surprising, unfamiliar, exciting, elegant, and thoroughly unlike what anyone ever expected." Filled with details about what reality looks like to current physicists (and how they arrived at their conclusions), this book talks about high concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. Michael Prichard lends a comfortable, authoritative voice to the fascinating topic. S.D. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 04]
