About the Book

This is the story of a grand scientific quest: the quest for a unifying theory of nature--one that can explain forces as different as the cohesion inside the atom and the gravitational tug between the sun and the earth. Writing with dazzling elegance and clarity, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg retraces the steps that have led modern scientists from relativity theory and quantum mechanics to the notion of superstrings and the idea that our universe may coexist with others. Along the way, he voices the questions that are always present: Why does each explanation of the way nature works point to other, deeper explanations? Why are the best theories not only logical but beautiful? And what implications will a final theory have for our philosophy and religious faith? Intellectually daring, rich in anecdote and aphorism, Dreams of a Final Theory launches us into a new cosmos and helps us make sense of what we find there.

About the Author :
Steven Weinberg received the 1979 Nobel Prize for Physics for his work in unifying two of the fundamental forces of nature, and in 1991 he was awarded the National Medal of Science at the White House. His earlier prize-winning book The First Three Minutes is the classic account of the "Big Bang," the modern theory of the origin of the universe. Among his other books are The Theory of Subatomic Particles and Gravitation and Cosmology: Principles and Applications of the General Theory of Relativity. Steven Weinberg is a member of the Royal Society of London as well as the US National Academy of Sciences, and has been awarded numerous honorary degrees, most recently from Columbia University and the Universities of Salamanca and Padua. Stuart Langton is an award-winning theater, film, and television actor. He has been an audiobook narrator for more than ten years. He lives in New York City.

Review :
"A splendid introduction to the nature and ambitions of modern physics and a brilliant and...moving essay on its philosophical implications." -- "San Francisco Chronicle" "Listening to this audiobook, one feels as if one has entered the classroom of a popular physics professor. With a clear tenor voice, [Langton] never falters in this reading, even when tackling the many difficult physics terms." -- "AudioFile" "This splendid book is as good reading about physics and physicists as this reviewer can name...clear, honest, and brilliantly instructive." -- "Scientific American" "Unusually well-written and informative...Weinberg is one of the world's most creative theoretical physicists." -- "Washington Post Book World" "Weinberg writes with great hope and clarity...Other books have been written on this subject, but Weinberg's is likely to have the highest demand. Highly recommended." -- "Library Journal" "Weinberg's quest...displays a scientist's sense of wonder and an artist's love of beauty." -- "Publishers Weekly"
