Modern physics made thrillingly accessible.

A landmark in science communication, The Elegant Universe introduces readers to string theory - the bold idea that everything in the universe is made of tiny vibrating strands of energy. With lucid storytelling and analogies drawn from everyday life, physicist Brian Greene explains the concepts of relativity, quantum mechanics and multidimensional space with unmatched elegance.

This book doesn’t just teach physics; it invites readers to feel wonder at the mathematical harmony underlying reality. Shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize, it remains one of the most popular science books ever written - ideal for those captivated by cosmology, time, and the search for a unified theory of everything.

Brilliant physics read!

I have the hard copy of this book and it's a challenging but worthwhile read. Greene uses well thought out analogies to describe elements of relativity and quantum mechanics and it's a great success. The book then goes on to describe string theory and M-theory while still keeping it understandable! Definitely one of the best books I have and I'm delighted it's on the iBookstore now.
