About this book

Dreams of a Final Theory describes the long pursuit of a unifying theory of nature, one able to explain forces as different as the bonds inside an atom and the pull of gravity between the sun and the Earth. Steven Weinberg is the Nobel Prize-winning physicist and the author of The First Three Minutes.

The book retraces how physicists moved from relativity and quantum mechanics toward ideas such as super-strings. Its aim is to show the steps by which the search took shape, which will suit readers who want the story of modern physics rather than its equations.

Published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. ISBN-13: 9780679744085.
