Knocking on Heaven's Door: How Physics and Scientific Thinking Illuminate the Universe and the Modern World


ΓÇ£Science has a battle for hearts and minds on its hands . . . against superstition and ignorance on one flank, and against pseudo-intellectual obscurantism on the other. How good it feels to have Lisa RandallΓÇÖs unusual blend of top flight science, clarity, and charm on our side.ΓÇ¥ (Richard Dawkins)

ΓÇ£RandallΓÇÖs lucid explanations of . . . the frontiers of physicsΓÇöincluding her own dazzling ideasΓÇöare highly illuminating, and her hearty defense of reason and science is a welcome contribution. . . . Read this book today to understand the science of tomorrow.ΓÇ¥ (Steven Pinker)

ΓÇ£Beautifully written. . . . An impressive overview of what scientists (of any kind) get up to, how they work and why science is an inherently creative endeavor.ΓÇ¥ (Times Higher Education (London) )

ΓÇ£Startlingly honest [and] beautifully written. . . . RandallΓÇÖs calm authority and clarity of explanation are exemplary. . . . Like being taken behind the curtain in Oz and given a full tour by the wizard.ΓÇ¥
