Praise for "The Road to Reality" by Roger Penrose
"A truly remarkable book...Penrose does much to reveal the beauty
and subtlety that connects nature and the human imagination,
demonstrating that the quest to understand the reality of our
physical world, and the extent and limits of our mental capacities,
is an awesome, never-ending journey rather than a one-way
cul-de-sac."
--"London Sunday Times"
"Penrose's work is genuinely magnificent, and the most stimulating
book I have read in a long time."
--"Scotland on Sunday
""Science needs more people like Penrose, willing and able to point
out the flaws in fashionable models from a position of authority
and to signpost alternative roads to follow."
--"The Independent"
"What a joy it is to read a book that doesn't simplify, doesn't
dodge the difficult questions, and doesn't always pretend to have
answers...Penrose's appetite is heroic, his knowledge encyclopedic,
his modesty a reminder that not all physicists claim to be able to
explain the world in 250 pages."
--"London Times"
"For physics fans, the high point of the year will undoubtedly be
"The Road to Reality.""
--"Guardian"
