The Black Hole War by Leonard Susskind

The Black Hole War by Leonard Susskind

The father of string theory recounts his paradigm-shifting debate with Stephen Hawking over the nature of black holes.

Entertaining..both lucid and enjoyable....Like the best teachers, Susskind makes it fun to learn. With a deft use of analogy and a flair for language, he tames the most ferocious concepts....He has come up with the best visual metaphor for the multidimensinality of string theory that I've yet come across, one that alone is worth the price of the book * - Los Angeles Times 'Susskind is very down to earth, an easy-going and entertaining guide through the most exciting frontiers of theoretical physics’ *
