Forces Of Nature Paperback – January 1, 2017

I found this book to be the most accessible, poetically written survey of modern physics, astronomy, biology, etc. I think if I had read the book as a young man I might have stuck with the arduous journey to become a scientist. Books like "The Greatest Story Ever Told (Almost)" certainly go into their topics in more depth..but this book is not meant to be the substitute for a text on physics for non mathematicians. It is instead, a masterpiece meant to inspire deep awe and curiosity about the natural world. If the book does not inspire you and put new lenses on your world view, you probably need to go to bed and rest for a few days.

If you watch lectures by Brian Cox, this is not that. If you studied Physics in college, do not expect a mind blowing break through. Light on words/equations, heavy on (great) pictures. All that said, it's a wonderful book if you go in with the right expectations. I'd still by it again! Better than fifty shades of non-sense or some vampire/wizard garbage.

Wonderful insights into physics - gives you a new perspective of the world around you and how everything is interconnected. A strong case for science!

Best I've read on this subject matter. Superbly eloquent.

A must reed one for every curious mind....simple questions...deep answers!!!It takes you through diferent science topics in a brillant way

Good review of key physical concepts of the day. Sometimes a bit too technical explanations but Brian Cox knows how transmit his passion for pure science as a small child, and thus gets you to share that enthusiasm and curiosity

I've always wondered about the nature of physical reality. And now in my 60's I finally find out substantially what It's all about. Thanks Brian Cox for explaining our universe!

again, Dr Cox does his thing, and knocks it out of the ball park!!!!
