Review of The Edge of All We Know

If you've read A Brief History of Time and understood it, then this assemblage of two simultaneous, closely related, but very different projects by some of the finest minds on our planet may disappoint. If you've tried to read it and couldn't quite grasp the concepts, then you are probably going to enjoy this rather more. It's an outsiders view of a group of theoretical physicists, cosmologists and astrophysicists attempting to realise concrete conclusions involving some of the most difficult theoretical concepts and complex collaborative exercises ever. While ultimately it may fail to satisfy either audience entirely, it's well constructed and a generally entertaining peek at some very remarkable humans working at the very edge of all we know.
