"A highly intelligent book by someone who has thought deeply about the fundamentals of physics. Its aim is to convey to a mixed audience how the successful and well-established quantum theory of fields goes about describing nature. This book has deepened my understanding. I enjoyed it and I think others will too."--David Park, professor emeritus, Williams College
"A significant contribution to the popular literature on physics. This book elucidates for a general reader the concept of matter and how this concept has evolved over the centuries from philosophical ideas of classical antiquity to the abstract concepts of relativity and quantum physics. The author writes a good narrative."--Mark P. Silverman, Trinity College
