Book Description
Fifteen years on from the highly praised The New Physics, new scientific advances have led to a dramatic reappraisal of our understanding of the world around us, and made a significant impact on our lifestyle.

This book covers the key frontiers in modern-day physics, exploring our universe--from the particles inside an atom to the stars that make up a galaxy, from brain research to the latest advances in computing.
