by Brian Greene
Greene uses everything from an amusement park ride to ants on a garden hose to illuminate the beautiful yet bizarre realities that modern physics is unveiling. Dazzling in its brilliance, unprecedented in its ability to both illuminate and entertain, The Elegant Universe is a tour de force of science writing -- a delightful, lucid voyage through modern physics that brings us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.
Brian Greene received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University and his doctorate from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He joined the physics faculty at Cornell University in 1990, was appointed to a full professorship in 1995, and in 1996 joined Columbia University, where he is professor of physics and mathematics. He has lectured at both a general and a technical level in more than twenty-five countries and is widely regarded for a number of groundbreaking discoveries in superstring theory. His first book, The Elegant Universe, has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His second book, The Fabric of the Cosmos, spent twenty-five weeks on The New York Times best-seller list. He lives in Andes, New York, and New York City.
