About This Item
New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 1997. 1st Ed 3rd Pr. Hardbound. 8vo. 53 Pgs.. Fine in Good DJ/Good. The Life of the Cosmos by Lee Smolin. Published by Oxford University Press, New York, NY, 1997. 1st Edition 3rd Printing. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Fine in Good DJ. 358 Pgs. ISBN 019510837X. LCCN 96-27912. The author offers a startling new theory of the universe that is at once elegant, comprehensive, and radically different from anything proposed before. His ideas are based on recent developments in cosmology, quantum theory, relativity and string theory, yet they offer, at the same time, a completely new view of how these developments may fit together to form a new theory of cosmology. The author is one of the leading cosmologists at work today, and he writes with an expertise and force of argument that will command attention throughout the world of physics. As startling as many of his ideas sound, each is subject to testing, and he includes several ideas on how they might be confirmed or disproved. Perhaps most important, however, is the humanity and sharp clarity of his prose, offering access for the layperson to the mind bending space at the forefront of today's physics.
