Some of the string theory in "The Fabric of the Cosmos" is repetitive of the content...

By skillful use of diagrams and analogies he succeeds even for non-mathematicians like me. He also goes on to explain of what the world might be made. In other words, wha...

Book presumes basic awareness of key concepts (which aren't difficult to have if one has passing interest in this topic) but provides very d...
