![]() No current Talk conversations about this book. A State-of-the-Universe Report A great follow up to books like Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. Anyone who enjoys that book is sure to enjoy this as well. The stuff on quantum weirdness is just absolutely mindblowing! Thoroughly enjoyable summary of our knowledge of the universe. Ferris is an excellent science writer. Ferris, Timothy. The Whole Shebang. Simon & Schuster, New York, 1997. Amazingly easy to read. My only complaint is that there is little material in the book that I didn't already know---although T.F. can hardly be blamed for my background! However, it's amazing how effortless he made the explanations seem. I particularly enjoyed his section on quantum weirdness (new material for me). I wish he'd gone into more detail into the physics of some of the theories---however, I realize that isn't appropriate for a general audience. no reviews | add a review
