<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A brilliant, lucid introduction to the interplay between cosmology, particle physics and what we know about when our universe began. Written for a general science audience, Perfect Symmetry is the legacy of the esteemed physicist and author of The Cosmic Code who died tragically in a mountaineering accident in Colorado. Illustrated.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Popular science at its best, this acclaimed classic work describes in stunning detail how cutting-edge discoveries in quantum physics and cosmology are helping to explain the origin and evolution of the universe, of space and time. <i>Perfect Symmetry</i> is an optimistic report about the ongoing synthesis of these two disciplines into a concerted effort to uncover the fundamental laws that not only describe how the stuff that makes up the universe -- matter and energy -- came into existence but also govern the behavior of the smallest and largest things, from subatomic particles to stars, galaxies, and the universe itself. Written by that rarest of scientists -- one who is esteemed by his peers yet capable of making the most complex ideas comprehensible to laymen -- <i>Perfect Symmetry</i> is an enthralling intellectual adventure, science that reads like art.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Eloquent.... Pagels has shown a flair for graceful exposition....He is also a wry philosopher. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>Splendid. -- <i>The New York Review of Books</i><br>
