Should anyone care to delve into the world of physics this is the book to start with. Brian Greene covers the foundations of 'strange' physics - everything that seems either outside the realm of possibility or beyond the scope of common sense. From the distortion of time and space, to the intricacies of quantum mechanics he holds the reader with spectacular analogies. I had prior knowledge of almost everything that he covered, but the way he sets the up the examples afforded an even greater understanding. This book is for layman and physicist alike. With assurance it will grip you from the first oddity and give your brain some exercise.
