Jones presents a plain-language guide to one of science's most controversial and challenging modern topics: string theory. Written in a style accessible to all readers regardless of scientific (or math) background, String Theory for Dummies explores the established physics concepts and mysteries that call out for new explanations, the development of string theory, the possibilities presented by the theory, and the criticisms of the theory, as well as some theoretical physics conjectures that may prove useful to solve some of the universe's mysteries should string theory fail to. Jones has appeared on Indiana Public Radio and Michio Kaku's nationally-syndicated Science Fantastic radio program.
