The Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe by Michael S. Schneider
The Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe

mpower, May 10, 2007

I'm fascinated with the description/topic as described in the synopsis. Had I seen the book on the shelf I may not have grabbed it because I don't like the word "beginner", and I think the word "construction" is missleading. Also, "Mathematical archetypes" is a pretty heady term for "beginners".
In light of that, I'm doing research on the subject and would love to read the book.
Hope it reads like the synopsis and not like the title.
From what I can see of the cover, it looks busy----again, if I'm a beginner, I want it simple,
Hope this helps
