A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe by Roger Penrose
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
The Road to Reality is the most important and ambitious work of science for a generation. It provides nothing less than a
comprehensive account of the physical universe and the essentials of its underlying mathematical theory. It assumes no
particular specialist knowledge on the part of the reader -- for example, the early chapters give us the vital mathematical
background to the physical theories explored later in the book.
Roger Penrose's purpose is to describe as clearly as possible our present understanding of the universe and to convey a
feeling for its deep beauty and philosophical implications, as well as its intricate logical interconnections. Rarely less
than challenging, the book is leavened by vivid descriptive passages, as well as hundreds of hand-drawn diagrams.
The Road to Reality was a Sunday Times top-ten bestseller in the hardcover edition, with over 40,000 copies sold.
