Reviews for Theories of Everything
An exhilarating journey that cuts across a vast terrain of conceptual landmarks: from physics to metaphysics, mathematics to philosophy, and from mythology to theology... Without a doubt an important, engaging and highly literate book
New Scientist
Bridges the gab between the research frontiers of theoretical physics and the aspirations of man to understand what is going on
Times Literary Supplement
Engaging and accessible
Daily Telegraph
Theories of Everything is a beautifully written and thoughtful attempt to make sense of this difficult area of enquiry
Nature
What an elegant exposition lies here: not for everyone, to be sure, but for those familiar with astronomer Barrow's rich background in mathematics and in the history and philosophy of science, a treasure of learning and insight
