Everything you wanted to know about physics but were afraid to ask

Priyamvada Natarajan, author of Mapping the Heavens, has written a book that answers all the questions you have about the Big Bang, Dark Matter, the Higgs boson, and the cutting edge of physics.

When leading theoretical physicist Professor Michael Dine was asked where you could find an accessible book that would teach you about the Big Bang, Dark Matter, the Higgs boson, and the cutting edge of physics now, he had nothing he could recommend. So he wrote it himself.

In This Way to the Universe, Dine takes us on a fascinating tour through the history of modern physics, from Newtonian mechanics to quantum, from particle to nuclear physics, delving into the wonders of our universe at its largest, smallest, and within our daily lives. If you are looking for the one book to help you understand physics, written in language anyone can follow, this is it.

An extraordinary journey into what we know, what we hope to know, and what we don't know, about the universe and the laws that govern it.

Leonard Susskind, author of The Theoretical Minimum series, said, "This book is a rare event. . . presented by someone who is a true master."

Sean Carroll, author of From Eternity to Here, said, "Dine's enthusiastic storytelling makes the read worth it for those who want to finally wrap their mind around string theory or the Higgs boson."

Tess Joosse, Scientific American, said, "Dine's book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the mysteries of the universe."
