Few scientists can be said to have had as great an effect on the popular perception of modern science as Stephen Hawking. The world-famous paralyzed astrophysical genius has come up with another book to follow A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME. THE UNIVERSE IN A NUTSHELL brings us up to date on all the developments incosmological theory since its predecessor was written. In a sparkling, easy-to-follow way, Hawking guides the reader through Einsteinian relativity, Heisenberg's Principle, a variety of string theories, M-theory, and P-branes - the larger structures into which superstrings cohere. Hawking, along with his fellow scientists, is filled with excitement that the P-brane may be one of the final steps in a Theory of Everything - explaining all forces in the Universe.
