The Future of Theoretical Physics and Cosmology edited by G. W. Gibbons and others, Cambridge, 拢40/$60, ISBN 0521820812 Reviewed by Stephen Battersby
IF YOU found A Brief History of Time a bit too easy, try this. Based on talks given at Stephen Hawking鈥檚 60th birthday conference, here are the latest ideas on quantum gravity, superstrings and the beginning of time, leavened with Hawking anecdotes. As readable as a very hard book on theoretical physics could be.
