"Warped Passages : Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions" by Lisa Randall
ISBN 0060531088
If you are into physics, and I mean the stuff on the edge Ms. Randall has this great reading for you. This book explains her most recent proposal to augment, or more precisely propose an slight ofshoot to string theory.
She suggests the concept of multi-branes. The various theoretical physics of extra dimensions and evidence of it with proof. (String theory has a ton of holes - because much of it cannot be proven.)
Her elaborate description how gravity leaks into various branes and presents itself across multi dimensions is something of an exciting concept. Her research into large dimensions and the thought that infinite dimension theory does not need to compact space is also revolutionary.
Plus she is not a bad looking woman considering she is in theoretical physics.
Easy read even for layman.
