If you want to know how everything got here and where it's going,
read this book.
*Sunday Times*
Until the End of Time is encyclopaedic in its ambition and its
erudition, often heartbreaking, stuffed with too many profundities
that I wanted to quote, as well as anecdotes from Greene's own life
- of which we should wish for more - that had me laughing ... A
love letter to the ephemeral cosmic moment when everything is
possible.
*New York Times*
It takes a storyteller to explain the sciences, and few are as
gifted as Brian Greene. There's real wonder in his descriptions of
galaxies and planets forming, and of life blooming after that. It
is all part of a fleeting moment in the cosmos - one that will
eventually end - yet Greene finds meaning and optimism in
everything around us.
*Chris Schluep, Amazon Editor*
A writer of exceptional clarity and charm
*Oliver Sacks*
He is both a skilled and kindly explicator. His excitement for
science on the threshold of vital breakthroughs is extremely
contagious
*The New York Times*
The new Hawking only better
*The Times*
Few living writers write so lucidly ... Greene might be the best
intermediary I've found between the sparkling, absolute zero world
of mathematics and the warm, clumsy world of human language
*Boston Globe*
If extraterrestrials landed tomorrow and demanded to know what the
human mind is capable of accomplishing, we could do worse than to
hand them a copy of this book
*The New York Times (on The Hidden Reality)*
