Dr. Michio Kaku is an American theoretical physicist at the City College of New York , best-selling author, a futurist, and a communicator and popularizer of science. He has written several books about physics and related topics of science.
He has written two New York Times Best Sellers, Physics of the Impossible (2008) and Physics of the Future (2011).
Dr. Michio is the co-founder of string field theory (a branch of string theory), and continues Einstein’s search to unite the four fundamental forces of nature into one unified theory.
Kaku was a Visitor and Member (1973 and 1990) at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and New York University. He currently holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York.

A very in depth, concise and dense exposition by my favorite popular science author in which he dissects one of my favourite hypothesis in theoretical physics. Albeit dated, I immensely enjoyed both the equations and insights I got from this.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a complex look at things like Branes, String theory, Hamiltonian and Hilbert spaces, etc.

Since Carl Sagan died, there is nobody out there comparable in my mind to Michio Kaku in putting Physics back into the popular arena. Kaku makes even the most complicated subjects understandable, the true mark of genius.

This is a textbook so I jumped around quite a bit. I love anything my Michio Kaku. Brilliant man.
