Release Notes

Take a mind-blowing new theory in physics presented by a charismatic scientist
and you\'ve got the recipe for a bestselling science book. In this excellent
introduction to string theory (in its simplest form, the theory describes the
ultimate matter of the universe as being more like vibrating strings than points
of matter), Greene explains clearly its potential to alter our understanding of
the universe -- perhaps revealing, for example, the existence of hidden
extraspatial dimensions.
