Putting It All Together

It is a unique and unforgettable synthesis of scholarly and lucid teachings in physics with an absorbing and insightful history of the times during which scientific discoveries concerning the laws of physics were actually made. Throughout the book, the author's passion, scholarship and enthusiasm shine like a bouquet of quasars in the sky. He shows extraordinary power in putting things together and wields his pen like a man seized, nay, possessed with great ideas which simply must be articulated as tellingly as possible. Please do get hold of this book for a unique experience in an insightful understanding of the processes of understanding nature.

Unifying the Universe, a Masterpiece

Unifying the Universe is a 'tour de force'. Maestro Padamsee has orchestrated a most interesting adventure in time, blending science, history and the arts in revealing man's endless search for the truth.Complex scientific material is clearly explained using a bare minimum of mathematics.The book would provide a foundation for the non-scientist to help them appreciate the complex world in which they live.It is also a fun read for those versed in science.

Science at its best, January 12, 2003

 

Reviewer: Andrew M. Sessler from Berkeley, CA USA

Science, literature, art, history are all combined in this wonderful, easily read, book. I recommend it for all interested both in scince and how it developed. The many stories make the giants of science into real people. The pictures are well-chosen and add greatly.
