"A fine report on the latest piece of the puzzle that may, sooner or later, enable physicists to explain everything." --Kirkus Reviews"Chown details nature's most familiar force in this sleek, well-paced account of gravity. Meticulously organized and researched." --Publishers Weekly"Award-winning Chown offers nonscientists an easily digestible guidebook to everything currently known about gravity, while arguing that a better understanding of this ubiquitous force will help penetrate the deepest mysteries of our universe. In prose refreshingly free of formulas and jargon, Chown once again establishes himself as a first-rate popular-science writer." --Booklist
