Lawrence Krauss has a new book out and at least one review is glowing. I think readers of FTB will especially like this graf:
(HuffPo) — A professor at Arizona State University, Krauss clearly relishes his iconoclastic role, gleefully demolishing all theories of creation that require a creator – that is, most religions. In the early 2000s, when he was teaching physics at Case Western Reserve University, he very publicly took on creationists in a fight over the science curriculum in Ohio public schools. But one has to hope that this book won’t appeal only to the partisans of the culture wars – it’s just too good and interesting for that. Krauss is genuinely in awe of the “wondrously strange” nature of our physical world, and his enthusiasm is infectious.
As a blogger with a big platform at the Great Orange Satan, I haven’t had to pay for a newly published science-y book in quite a while. Publishers and agents are often emailing me asking if it’s OK to send them to me for free. But no one did that on A Universe From Nothing, and it sounds damn interesting! I may be willing to break that freebie streak here. I may have no other choice!

If it’s anything like his talk of the same name, it should be interesting.

I have this on preorder from iTunes. Can’t wait to get it on my iPad and read it. I’ve always suspected that nothing was unstable and could not exist. This book will explain it.
