Beyond Einstein: The Cosmic Quest for the Theory of the Universe

Michio Kaku

Anchor, 1995

Very interesting and within reach of ordinary folks like me...
I really liked this book. It found it easier to understand (and less gee-whiz) than Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe (paperback and CD). Kaku and his co-writer presented a very clear description of what hyperspace would look like to four-dimensional creatures such ...

Visions How Science Will Revolutionize the Twenty-First Century (Visions of Science) (Visions of Science)
Michio Kaku

Oxford Univ Pr (Txt), 1998

As the twentieth century draws to a close, the fundamental elements of matter and life - the particles of the atom and the decoding of the nucleus of the cell - have been discovered, and one of the great chapters of scientific discovery has drawn to a close. In many ways, however, this is but a preface to an even more far-reaching scientific ...

Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century

Michio Kaku

Anchor, 1998

Read & Invest
Visions can be broken down into 2 different "main" subjects...computer technology and the medical field, and how they will evolve in the near future; as well as in the distant future. If you read this book, one of your thought processes should be about investing; ...

Einstein's Cosmos: How Albert Einstein's Vision Transformed Our Understanding of Space and Time (Great ...

Michio Kaku

Einstein For The Rest of Us
Physicists will already be acquainted with nearly everything in this book. For the rest of us, Professor Kaku provides a comfortably woven account of Einstein's personal and professional life. While nearly everyone is familiar with the famous scientist's reputation, ...

Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, ...

Michio Kaku

Doubleday, 2008

Degrees of Scientific Impossibility
Will something that is impossible now eventually become possible? In order to answer this question, the author has divided various potentially outrageous ideas into three levels of impossibility, based on current and expected future technological capabilities and the ...

Nuclear Power: Both Sides

good read-non-genius friendly.
good book. explains details in a way that laymen can comprehend. i never took any physics- but i was capable of understaning dr. kakus book. he is well spoken and well versed in the modern beliefs of theoretical science.

Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos

Michio Kaku

Anchor, 2006

Very Easy to Understand
I don't have much physics backgroud but found this book very easy to comprehend and easy to read also. The information is astonishing.

Quantum Field Theory: A Modern Introduction

Michio Kaku

Oxford University Press, USA, 1993

This is an Introduction - Not an In-Depth Study...DUH
Some of these reviewers need to review the title of the book. This is a "modern introduction to quantum field theory", not some in-depth study with hearty breadth. Duh. For physicist's you people don't have much common sense to speak of.

Introduction to Superstrings (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)

Michio Kaku

Springer, 1990

Gentle.
Just a few words for the (alleged) reader from Princeton (although I am strongly urged to believe that she was a very lowly and bitter physics undergraduate student buried somewhere beneath the vast cornfields in Illinois, at the time her review was posted): ...

A Journey Through the Tenth Dimension
Michio Kaku

Mystic Fire Audio, 1990

Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku discusses the ten-dimensional aspects of superstrings and other theories on the cutting edge of physics. 2 cassettes.

Strings, Conformal Fields, and Topology (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)
Michio Kaku

Springer-Verlag, 1991

Following on the foundations laid in his earlier book "Introduction to Superstrings", Professor Kaku discusses such topics as the classification of conformal string theories, the non-polynomial closed string field theory, matrix models, and topological field theory. The presentation of the material is self-contained, and several chapters review ...

Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)

Michio Kaku

Springer, 1999

Superb Capture of superstrings
I enjoyed this book because it simply portrays how the univeral workings of the universe function. It makes you think just how many forms string can take and in this case, it's one large piece of string. Perhaps, we can use these pieces of string as a source of fuel ...

a fine supplement to standard textbooks
Like all books of Michio Kaku, the book is written nicely and the topics included are indeed modern and up to date. In order to understand it, it is recommended that one has done a course on superstring theory, preferably on infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and ...
