About this title
"A treasure of learning and insight...A fine analysis of the evolution of mathematical thought; indeed, the implicit role that mathematics has played in cosmology is a recurrent, finely drawn theme that adds considerably to the book's scholarly luster....Marvelous." The Kirkus Reviews
"An encyclopedia of current concerns in the philosophy of science, a clean cut through a thick birthday cake of ideas, the sort of book that an archeologist in the distant future would be delighted to have unearthed...An educational wonder." Times Literary Supplement
"[An] intellectual adventure...Encompasses the nature of time and current wrangling among physicists and mathematicians over whether the universe resembles a vast computer program, a kaleidoscopic pattern or neither."
Publishers Weekly
"Offers intelligent and informed insights into many aspects of science's efforts to understand everything."
Dallas Morning News
"Its scope is, appropriately, vast." Nature
