Summary: A really good book!
Review: This was an excellent book. It gives a good explanation on some of the more exciting areas of physics, without needing to take a course in physics or needing to understand all the math it would (normally) involve. I highly recommend it!

Summary: A solid follow-up to the very popular "Physics of Star Trek"
Review: Written with the layperson in mind, Dr. Krauss's follow-up to his enormously popular "The Physics of Star Trek" helps explain the science in science-fiction. The author uses simple analogies to give perspective to what we see on television and the movies. While this book is an easy read for someone without a PhD in astrophysics, it contains more "hard science" and has a less lighthearted tone than the first book. Nevertheless, I recommend it highly.
