The Fabric of the Cosmos

Greene sends the reader's imagination hurtling through the universe on an astonishing ride. As a popularizer of exquisitely abstract science, he is both a skilled and kindly explicator.

After spending time at Harvard and Cornell, he is currently a Professor of Physics and Mathematics at Columbia.
