Forces of Nature [Paperback] Cox, Professor Brian and Cohen, Andrew Review: Excellent - Excellent. Interesting examples than brings all ideas better to understand. Review: Lots of pictures and general ideas - If you watch lectures by Brian Cox, this is not that. If you studied Physics in college, do not expect a mind blowing break through. Light on words/equations, heavy on (great) pictures. All that said, it's a wonderful book if you go in with the right expectations. I'd still by it again! Better than fifty shades of non-sense or some vampire/wizard garbage.

Lots of pictures and general ideas
If you watch lectures by Brian Cox, this is not that. If you studied Physics in college, do not expect a mind blowing break through. Light on words/equations, heavy on (great) pictures. All that said, it's a wonderful book if you go in with the right expectations. I'd still by it again! Better than fifty shades of non-sense or some vampire/wizard garbage.

Masterpiece
I found this book to be the most accessible, poetically written survey of modern physics, astronomy, biology, etc. I think if I had read the book as a young man I might have stuck with the arduous journey to become a scientist. Books like "The Greatest Story Ever Told (Almost)" certainly go into their topics in more depth..but this book is not meant to be the substitute for a text on physics for non mathematicians. It is instead, a masterpiece meant to inspire deep awe and curiosity about the natural world. If the book does not inspire you and put new lenses on your world view, you probably need to go to bed and rest for a few days.

Thanks for substantially explaining our universe!
I've always wondered about the nature of physical reality. And now in my 60's I finally find out substantially what It's all about. Thanks Brian Cox for explaining our universe!

Brief physics intro from the eyes of a passionate observer
Good review of key physical concepts of the day. Sometimes a bit too technical explanations but Brian Cox knows how transmit his passion for pure science as a small child, and thus gets you to share that enthusiasm and curiosity

Seeing through the eyes of scientific understanding shows the underlying beauty of reality
What makes this magnificent book stand out is the creative way in which professor Brian Cox makes us see through the eyes of scientific understanding at the breathtaking complexity of the world around us, only to reveal that it is all a shadow of something unimaginably beautiful: the laws of nature. He makes us see for ourselves and realize that the natural world can be understood, that it can all be explained on basis of very basic principles. Definitely a must read!

Gran libro
Me flipa Brian Cox. Hace fácil lo difícil, como todos los cracks en su campo.

clear, concise and informative
Brian defines the obscure and difficult in ways that other science communicators can only hope to achieve. His mastery of making the difficult easier to understand puts him into the league of Carl Sagan and David Attenborough.
