The elegant universe, 2010-09-01
Fascinating and informative. Be prepared to read parts of it a second time to understand it better. Its important we try to understand how the universe works and our place in it.

Excellent refresher!, 2010-08-21
I graduated in Physics some 50 years ago when this topic was little (if at all) studied at undergraduate level. This book is just the right level for me - far from patronisingly simple but very understandable. Well recommended.

A fantastic guide through the History of Randomness, 2010-08-07
Here is a fantastic guide through the human race's attempts to understand the complexities of events which are Random. A very good book where you can read about the a little about the lives of those who changed our understanding for the better and I recommend it to anyone with a interest in understanding randomness.
The book is very well written and flows nicely.

Good read for those interested in such areas......., 2010-08-13
I spent a few days reading this book on my hols and would say that it is a great blend of theory, some 'wow' facts, and some mathematic explanations backing up the theories (though the authors take great steps to outline how not following the maths should not detract from the content).

As someone with an interest in this type of topic, there were quite a few 'wow' moments (no spoilers.....I suggest you read the book).

Furthermore their clear enthusiasm in the topic helps keep the book fresh and content easy to get through.

Essentially a walk through from the first theories of movement, speed, gravity from historical scienticts / theorists through to modern day cutting edge understanding / theories including Cern/LHC work etc and how everything has come together to lead us to one (almost!) universal theory for everything particle wise and what this all means........ (again, read the book for an explanation as to why it's 'almost' everything).

Written with a non-scientist in mind.... I strongly recommend.

Amazing!, 2010-08-23
As an A-level physics student hoping to study physics at university, I have to say that this is one of the best popular science books I have read. I recieved the book 'Six Not So Easy Pieces' as a gift, and took that as a hint that it was very important that I read this book. Feynman has a unique way of describing physical concepts, and is able to explain complex ideas with clarity and accuracy. He also seems to be able to find real life analogies and examples for phenomenon that are so unlike anything we see in the world we live in. This book has made so many aspects of physics clearer to me, and I urge you to pick it up if you have any interest in the subject whatsoever, regardless of your prior knowledge and ability. And even if you find yourself completely uninterested in physics, I can almost guarantee that this book will change your mind!

Author: Brian Cox
By Da Capo Press

The most accessible, entertaining, and enlightening explanation of the best-known physics equation in the world, as rendered by two of today-s leading scientists. Professor Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of 21st century science to consider the real meaning behind the iconic sequence of symbols that make up Einstein-s most famous equation, E=mc2. Breaking down the symbols themselves, they pose a series of questions: What is energy? What is mass? What has the speed of light got to do with energy and mass? In answering these questions, they take us to the site of one of the largest scientific experiments ever conducted. Lying beneath the city of Geneva, straddling the Franco-Swiss boarder, is a 27 km particle accelerator, known as the Large Hadron Collider. Using this gigantic machine-which can recreate conditions in the early Universe fractions of a second after the Big Bang-Cox and Forshaw will describe the current theory behind the origin of mass.

Oustanding!, 2010-01-07
I never tried Hawking's original, so I can't make comparisons....but the general consensus seems to be that it is pretty inpenetrable. I have however read a number of other "popular science" books on the subject of the Quantum world etc. I'm a graduate chemist but most proved rather hard going .. with an over reliance on jargon.
I found this to be by far the most lucid explanation of what are some pretty difficult concepts. I personally found the illustrations to be very helpful. It is not an overly long book (hence not too intimidating) & whilst perhaps not getting in to too much detail, it does seem to cover all the significant issues.
An outstanding book!!

Worked well for me!, 2010-07-10
We used the Nelson Thorne book for AS and A2, and it is easy to understand and gives you a really thorough grounding in what you need to know, for A2 perhaps a little more detail in some areas would be nicer but really one of the objectives of A2 is to learn outside the syllabus. However this AS book showed me everything clearly and a revision guide wasn't needed as an extra to get my A from using it.
