In a single work of colossal scope one of the world's greatest scientists has given us a complete and unrivalled guide to the glories of the universe.

The Road to Reality is the most important and ambitious work of science for a generation. It provides nothing less than a comprehensive account of the physical universe and the essentials of its underlying mathematical theory. It assumes no particular specialist knowledge on the part of the reader -- for example, the early chapters give us the vital mathematical background to the physical theories explored later in the book....

One of our most distinguished scientists offers a radical new theory of the origin, and ultimate end, of the Universe.
Professor Sir Roger Penrose's groundbreaking and bestselling The Road to Reality provided a complete guide to the laws that govern our universe. In Cycles of Time, Penrose offers a completely new perspective on the often-asked question, 'what came before the Big Bang?' The answer that Penrose proposes involves a curious but fully rational way of looking at the expected ultimate fate of our acclerating expanded universe, and showing that its end can in fact...

By the author of The Emperor's New Mind, this is an exploration of what modern physics has to tell us about the mind, and a visionary description of what a new physics might look like. It is also a speculation on the biological process that makes consciousness what it is.

Roger Penrose's views on the large-scale physics of the Universe, the small-scale world of quantum physics and the physics of the mind are controversial and widely discussed. This book is a fascinating and accessible summary of Roger Penrose's current thinking on those areas of physics in which he feels there are major unresolved problems. It is also a stimulating introduction to the radically new concepts that he believes will be fruitful in understanding the workings of the brain and the nature of the human mind.
