The Elegant Universe
Brian Greene earned his bachelor's degree at Harvard and his doctorate at Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes scholar. He is a physics and mathematics professor at Columbia University in New York City.
The international best-seller that sparked a huge Nova special and a new perspective of the cosmos has been updated with a new prelude and epilogue.
One of the world's leading string theorists, Brian Greene, peels away layers of mystery to reveal a universe of eleven dimensions, where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter, from the smallest quarks to the most massive supernovas, is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy. The Elegant Universe makes some of the most complex ideas ever considered approachable and amusing, bringing us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.
"Sets a standard that will be hard to beat." ― George Johnson, The New York Times Book Review
"Compulsively readable. . . . Greene threatens to do for string theory what Stephen Hawking did for black holes." ― New York
