A book that readers of The Elegant Universe will read with fascination and pleasure. . As he did in The Physics of Star Trek, Krauss once again makes reading about physics fun for scientists and nonscientists alike. . Krauss has hosted documentaries for The Learning Channel, Paramount, Nova, the BBC, and Discovery, and a multi-part documentary series on ATOM is planned for PBS. . Krauss is a contributor to The New York Times, Natural History, and Discover.
