Product Description
Product Description
As the 20th century draws to a close, the fundamental elements of matter and life - the particles of the atom and the decoding of the nucleus of the cell - have been discovered, and one of the great chapters of scientific discovery has drawn to a close. In many ways, however, this is but a preface to an even more far-reaching scientific revolution that will take place in the next century, as we make the transition from unravelling the secrets of nature to becoming the masters of nature. In this text, physicist Michio Kaku looks to this future and guides the reader through the science of the next century. His vision of this future is based on the pioneering efforts by theoreticians and the current laboratory research. Dr Kaku asserts that, using today's knowledge, we can confidently predict the direction of science through the next century.

Format:Hardcover
In-depth enough to get your teeth into, but not too complex as to exclude the majority. The near future (up to 2020) is predicted with a fair amount of certainty - and is quite believable, with the mid-future (up to 2050) and longer-term future (up to 2200) also explained with rational and justifiable arguments. The author has enlisted the minds of a great many people at the top of their fields and as such lends credibility to the book. Very thought-inspiring.

In content it is something anyone could have written, knowing a bit about present science affairs and doing a bit of research. But who better than a well-respected scientist! It collates information from brains around all corners of the world, which founds some validity in the predictions. The book is written simply (i.e. for an educated layman) and even the sometimes laborious facts, somehow seem to encourage enthusiasm towards the next century. One to keep until 2020 (at least) to see whether these crystal-ball visions really do come true!
Format:Hardcover
The book was in excellent conditions as well as having the authors signature inside it :) The three part TV series are based on the same theme. Very good book.
Listmania!
