Customer Reviews

I absolutely adore this book, and more importantly this author.

I got this as an ebook originally and had to have a physical copy for my book collection. Sean Carroll has such a calm writing style and thinks incredibly thoughtfully about everything he's put into this book. It talks about the importance of an open mind and thinking critically, along with many different philosophical viewpoints and anecdotes. Not to mention the several chapters on actual physics. I will almost certainly reread this again in the future.
