Dreams Of A Final Theory: The Search for The Fundamental Laws of Nature: Search for the Ultimate Laws of Nature

'This starting point, to which all explanations can be traced, is what I mean by a final theory', says Steven Weinberg in this extraordinary book. In it he discusses beauty, the weakness of philosophy, the best ideas in physics and the honour of accepting a world without god.
