<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Accessible and stimulating introduction to Roger Penrose's vision of theoretical physics for the twenty-first century.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Roger Penrose's views on the large-scale physics of the Universe, the small-scale world of quantum physics and the physics of the mind are controversial and widely discussed. This book is a fascinating and accessible summary of Roger Penrose's current thinking on those areas of physics in which he feels there are major unresolved problems. It is also a stimulating introduction to the radically new concepts that he believes will be fruitful in understanding the workings of the brain and the nature of the human mind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'... a stimulating and compact review of Penrose's own thinking.' Bernard Dixon, The Independent<br><br>'... one could hardly ask for a shrewder or more enthusiastic tour guide to the extremes of physics.' Scientific American<br><br>'The book is an attractive and stimulating introduction to some fascinating issues, on some of which (such as the intelligibility of the universe) theists would certainly be able to offer some alternative insights.' John Polkinghorne, Science and Christian Belief<br><br>'To see a scientist of Penrose's ability, stature and achievement toss large parts of modern physics into the air as though juggling balls and try to keep them aloft while marshalling them into a coherent pattern is a thing to behold. It is a wonderful illustration of a first-rate scientist doing what first-rate scientists have always done: make bold conjectures and display them for others to confirm, refute or amend.' Keith Devlin, New Scientist<br><br>'When Oxford physicist and mathematician Penrose ... has something to say about general relativity, quantum physics and artificial intelligence, we would do well to listen.'
