Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos50 reviews
Michio Kaku

Anchor, 2006

WOW!
Definitely, TWO THUMPS UP!!! This is one of the best book for fun read among all books I have ever read for more than thirty years. The topic is a hard-chew, but Michio Kaku made it so soft you can swallow as easily as milk. It is not a surprise why so many complete physics lay persons read this book and all of a sudden became in the know about modern physics. Yes, this book is that great, ...
  
  











  



  
Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, ...34 reviews
Michio Kaku

Doubleday, 2008

Impossible is relative
As he did in "Visions," "Hyperspace," and "Beyond Einstein," Professor Michio Kaku has again penned a gem. Eminently readable, and as always packed full of related facts, this logically guided but wide-eyed romp across the terrain of the impossible, near-impossible and the far-fetched impossible, contains a veritable boutique of novel and leading-edge ideas. But that is not all. He also ...
  
  











  



  
Beyond Einstein: The Cosmic Quest for the Theory of the Universe29 reviews
Michio Kaku

Anchor, 1995

Very interesting and within reach of ordinary folks like me...
I really liked this book. It found it easier to understand (and less gee-whiz) than Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe (paperback and CD). Kaku and his co-writer presented a very clear description of what hyperspace would look like to four-dimensional creatures such as ourselves. (This was the first clear layman's description I have read.) I only wish I understood better the quantum ...
  
  











  



  
Quantum Field Theory: A Modern Introduction12 reviews
Michio Kaku

Oxford University Press, USA, 1993

This is an Introduction - Not an In-Depth Study...DUH
Some of these reviewers need to review the title of the book. This is a "modern introduction to quantum field theory", not some in-depth study with hearty breadth. Duh. For physicist's you people don't have much common sense to speak of.
  
  











  



  
Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century62 reviews
Michio Kaku

Anchor, 1998

Read & Invest
Visions can be broken down into 2 different "main" subjects...computer technology and the medical field, and how they will evolve in the near future; as well as in the distant future. If you read this book, one of your thought processes should be about investing; especially when the computer chip is no longer made on silicon wafers and tranistors. If you are a person who thinks outside the ...
  
  











  



  
Nuclear Power: Both Sides1 review

W. W. Norton & Company, 1989

Lots of Info
This book contains lots of info. about Nuclear Power. Here are some quotes: With radioactive cobalt, botanists can produce new types of plants. Structural variations that normally take years of selective breeding to develop can be made to occur in a few months. The radiation has even caused genetic mutations in children whose parents were exposed to the radiation. Other renewable power sources ...
  
  











  



  
Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)4 reviews
Michio Kaku

Springer, 1999

Superb Capture of superstrings
I enjoyed this book because it simply portrays how the univeral workings of the universe function. It makes you think just how many forms string can take and in this case, it's one large piece of string. Perhaps, we can use these pieces of string as a source of fuel to help us survive so that more theories of strings can be created.
  
  











  



  
Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimens ion208 reviews
Michio Kaku

Anchor, 1995

Great book !!!
The book is nicely organized and explains most of the popular theories till date in very basic layman terms which most anybody can understand and keeps you engrossed as you go along. There are also lots of quotes and reactions by all the great minds... Definitely a must read for anyone interested in all the work over 2 centuries by great physicists to understand and search for the unified theory ...
  
  











  



  
Einstein's Cosmos: How Albert Einstein's Vision Transformed Our Understanding of Space and Time (Great ...15 reviews
Michio Kaku

W. W. Norton & Company, 2005

Einstein For The Rest of Us
Physicists will already be acquainted with nearly everything in this book. For the rest of us, Professor Kaku provides a comfortably woven account of Einstein's personal and professional life. While nearly everyone is familiar with the famous scientist's reputation, few know much about him as a man or his incredible body of work. Einstien's humanity and self-deprecating humor only add to his ...

Visions How Science Will Revolutionize The 21st Century1 review
Michio Kaku

Doubleday, 1997

physics for the layman
My introduction to Mickio Kaku came when he was a guest speaker at a conference I attended. My first thought was "a physicist? Yawn!" But what a speaker he is! I left feeling that I had a rudimentary understanding of string theory. In fact, not just understanding but excited about it. Quite an accomplishment for someone not versed in science at all. I would recommend his books for the ...
  
  











  



  
To Win a Nuclear War: The Pentagon's Secret War Plans6 reviews
Michio Kaku, Daniel Axelrod

South End Press, 1986

The War to End All Wars?
Every time one thinks that the level of evil to which the military-industrial-corporate media can stoop has been reached, along comes more information to tell us we haven't yet reached that level. Authors Kaku and Axelrod have produced a book written in the style I enjoy the most--using the government's own primary source documents to impeach them. They document the insanity of our fathers using ...
  
  











  



  
Introduction to Superstrings (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)2 reviews
Michio Kaku

Springer, 1990

Gentle.
Just a few words for the (alleged) reader from Princeton (although I am strongly urged to believe that she was a very lowly and bitter physics undergraduate student buried somewhere beneath the vast cornfields in Illinois, at the time her review was posted): get a grip! The point of the monograph was for the non specialist ...
  
  











  



  
Strings, Conformal Fields, and Topology (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)
Michio Kaku

Springer-Verlag, 1991

Following on the foundations laid in his earlier book "Introduction to Superstrings", Professor Kaku discusses such topics as the classification of conformal string theories, the non-polynomial closed string field theory, matrix models, and topological field theory. The presentation of the material is self-contained, and several chapters review material expounded in the earlier book. This book provides students with an understanding of the main ...
  
  











  



  
Strings, Conformal Fields, and M-Theory (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)3 reviews
Michio Kaku

Springer, 2000

a fine supplement to standard textbooks
Like all books of Michio Kaku, the book is written nicely and the topics included are indeed modern and up to date. In order to understand it, it is recommended that one has done a course on superstring theory, preferably on infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and supersymmetry too, and that one has read some material on conformal field theory (good books are by di Francesco et al. and Ketov). Kaku ...
