Fabric of the Cosmos by Briane Greene
This book Fabric of the Cosmos by Briane Greene, same author of Elegant Universe. He's a very good author, very smart guy obviously. Have any of you read the book, what do you think? This stuff is conceptually difficult to understand for me, you guys have trouble understanding it too? If you are interested in physics, popular science writing (this isn't dumbed down or a retarded book like "science for dummies"), I highly recommend both of his books.

I really liked the elegant universe, but didn't realize he had a new book out. Thanks for the heads up Bruiser.

Re: Fabric of the Cosmos by Briane Greene
The Elegant Universe is one of those incredible books where only one of its kind comes along every five years or so. I haven't read Greene's new book yet; thanks for reminding me of its existence.
Three other books that I found as amazing as this book: Richard Dawkins - The Selfish Gene Douglas Hofstadter - Godel, Escher, Bach Niall Ferguson - Empire If you like popular science writing, the books in the Great Discoveries series published by W. W. Norton Co. are pretty enthralling. |

I'm still reading Jared Diamond's new book Collapse, but I'll get to Greene's new one soon [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Fabric of the Cosmos by Briane Greene
this one is definitely on my list to read - has anyone read Malcolm Gladwell's new book "Blink" ??? "The Tipping Point" is excellent, so I am excited to read his new one.
