"The four of them taken together form a coherent explanatory structure that is so far-reaching, and has come to encompass so much of our understanding of the world, that in my view it may already properly be called the first Theory of Everything." Deutsch covers some difficult material with unusual clarity. Each chapter ends with a summary and definitions of important terms, which makes the work an invaluable sourcebook.]]> 103190 4.08 114 20 1997 0 0 false Sun Aug 31 21:42:04 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 21:42:04 -0700 2008
