Books by Gordon (University of Michigan Kane

This book provides an enthusiastic view of how compactified string/M-theories, plus data that may be reachable, have the possibility of leading to a comprehensive underlying theory describing our physical world, particle physics and cosmology, gravity and quantum theory, perhaps soon.

This book provides a strong pedagogical foundation for students and general readers, and a valuable synthesis of cutting-edge research for working scientists. This new edition is expanded to make accessible the latest developments, including Higgs physics, and several well-motivated extensions are described so the reader is ready for new developments.
