Great service
Book was in good condition and delivery was quick. I recommend this seller 2007-01-16




Interesting, at times hard to follow
Surely, Prof. Kaku knows his subject matter, and he knows how to write. His explanation of string theory and M theory were understandable for a layman like me.
However, when he applied this to cosmology, it became confusing for me: There seem to be endless possibilities for baby universes, multiple universes.... it almost sounded more like science fiction. Surely, this is due to my limitations, rather than to Prof. Kaku's knowledge of the subject matter. It seems, that a firm understanding of our universe(es)is still far away.

Cosmology made clear: a major feat in divulgative science
This Author deserves praise for being one of those few science writers that really know how to divulge science to the layperson without oversimplfying it. I find this book rich in information, interresting speculations and intriguing hypotheses. There is also an honest unbiased appraisal of modern theories,from the famous and somewhat over-vaslued "string theory" to the most bizarre "hologram" theory.Carl Sagan and Isaac asimov would have liked this book! 2006-11-06




The Best Book since Carl Sagan 's Age
This is a book that follows the style of Carl Sagan, but it is not Carl Sagan ! Dr. Michio Kaku provide a path of light into the M theory. This is not a simple scientific book it is the main stone in the foundation of new knowledge. 2006-08-24




Good Overview for the Layman
This is the first book I have read in this field and I was encouraged to read it when I overheard an NPR discussion with Kaku while washing the kitchen floor one day. For me the power of this book (and of the man himself) is its ability to excite the interest of the layman. As a wannabe teacher, I find Kaku's presentation to be brilliant in terms of his ability to excite his audience and give them 'wow' moments. Sure, maybe he doesn't present a totally complete and unbiased opinion of the subject matter (although I am not one to judge this), but he may spur the interest of a few of the next generation of comologists and to for me that is what is important - keeping people informed and turned-on to science so that they will pursue the subject and generate the next round of discoveries. I recommend this to all who love to learn. I only wish I could attend Kaku's lectures... 2006-08-13
