What the Critics Say
"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)

"Informative"
I decided to approach Steven Weinberg's "Dreams of a Final Theory" because it is an area about which I know little. The Audible offering of the book is very good. I seek out books that are well read, well written and informative. This audio volume wins on all three counts.
I came to the book as less than a novice. I caught onto the authors points without a deep understanding of math, E=MC2 or anything of the kind. His chapter, "On a Piece of Chalk," introduced basic principles of Atomic Theory in a clear way. His placement of physics into historical context was particularly helpful.
If you are a novice and would like to learn something new - this may well be worth your time. It was worth the time so far as I was concerned.9 of 9 people found this review helpful -

"Good Book"
This is a nice book and will give the reader a good perspective of what a Final theory needs to be.
