Great Science Book for Lay Readers

I am not a scientist; the last science class I took was freshman biology for non-majors. I enjoyed Simon Singh's Big Bang, however, and wanted to read more about emerging science and cosmology. I had watched The Universe on the History Channel, and thought I'd pick up one of Michio Kaku's book. I have quite enjoyed this detour into physics.

Kaku is masterful at explaining a broad array of concepts to the lay person. I have no background in science and was able to understand what he presented without having to re-read what Kaku wrote, which is an achievement.

I will forewarn readers: this is not a science vs. God book, despite the first line (and one or two pages in the middle of the book). It is instead a delightful treat into pure theorhetical physics.

inspiring

The first two parts of the book, contains the history of cosmology up to today. The third and most interesting part brings up the controversy of God in the creation of the universe. Kaku gives prospective of the top cosmologist as well as his view in the part. Also in this last part a very inspiring talk on mankind, where we are and where we are trying to go.
I found this book very informative and inspiring.

Great Effort

I am in the midst of reading this right now, and so far am finding it wonderfully accessible in ways that Hyperspace was not. I think Kaku has really found his voice for the lay person with this effort. I seem to be 'getting it' in ways that are very gratifying and rare. I had been rereading Hyperspace when this book arrived. How nice to feel I'm understanding some concepts very clearly!

Rating for Parallel Worlds

I haven't read through the entire book yet - I've only gone through and read parts here and there, enough to know I will really enjoy reading this book. I always see this author on television shows regarding the same and simalar subject matters and became interested enough in his commentaries to purchase this book. I have no scientific background and this book seems easy enough to read and comprehend, and that was a big plus in my opinion!
Also, delivery was very prompt and I am very satisfied with this purchase!

An Important Modern Day Physics Book

Michio Kaku is one of the most significant theoretical physicists of our day, and this is his signature work. Besides providing a basic history of astrophysics knowledge and concepts, Dr. Kaku discusses the possibility of parallel universes, multiple dimensions, and even time travel. Our universe may in fact be an offshoot of another universe, possibly from a (theoretical) white hole. Once regarded as science fiction, many of the concepts Dr. Kaku discusses in this book are increasingly becoming accepted by scientists as plausible facts.

Most of this book will be easily understandable for the average lay person. However, much of the book is spent on string theory. If you don't have at least some education in college level physics, some of this may be difficult to understand (not to mention a little dry). That said, Dr. Kaku does a better job than most in explaining in. All in all, this is an important book explaining some of the most cutting edge theories and concepts in modern physics. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in astronomy or astrophysics.
