Re: [APML] (OT) String theory?

["Greg Hartke" <ghartke@adelphia.net>]

Hi, Alan,

Let me suggest "Three Roads to Quantum Gravity". It got good reviews in 
Physics Today and I even read it. (Yes, it's pretty good. No tensors, 
either. ;) ) I can't remember the author's name (might be Brian Green) at 
the moment. I'm heading to work and don't have time to check right now but 
if you can't find it in a search let me know and I'll give you the details.

Regards,

Greg
