Picked it up a while ago, wish I hadn't left it this long to read it. It been a good read so far and is probably one of the better books I've read on subject. If I remember correctly, she was one of the original proponents of M-theory. Seems to be a pretty good communicator, pity she doesn't seem to be generally as well known as the other physics bods.

Also, I find her vaguely hawt!

Lemme know how it is... looks good!

I wanna re-read this. Sick book. Ultra dark.

Still working away on 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'- its a bit of a trudge.

Almost certainly my favourite booky thing ever. I can never work out if I prefer the radio shows or the books, but they're both amazing.

Reg & Maggie"s
THE VOYAGE OF THE
GREAT SOUTHERN ARK
The 4 Billion Year Journey of the
Australian Continent

sounds grand & is
graphics largely convincing

Australia's plate,
recently broken
from Antarctica
is heading north
for the third time

possibly into coagulation again
in which case
as global sea currents are inhibited
heat distribution slows
moisture cools
ice age
possibly a long one
^not in the book but recent geoscience

Finally got around to reading the doors of perception after putting it off for so long. Made my trip to bristol much more interesting. Pretty fantastic read, wonderfully deep and complex without being up its own arse in pretentious philosophical ramblings.
