Knocking on Heaven's Door by Lisa Randall Book Summary

“Science has a battle for hearts and minds on its hands….How good it feels to have Lisa Randall’s unusual blend of top flight science, clarity, and charm on our side.”
—Richard Dawkins

“Dazzling ideas….Read this book today to understand the science of tomorrow.”
—Steven Pinker

The bestselling author of Warped Passages, one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World,” and one of Esquire’s “75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century,”  Lisa Randall gives us an exhilarating overview of the latest ideas in physics and offers a rousing defense of the role of science in our lives. Featuring fascinating insights into our scientific future born from the author’s provocative conversations with Nate Silver, David Chang, and Scott Derrickson, Knocking on Heaven’s Door is eminently readable, one of the most important popular science books of this or any year. It is a necessary volume for all who admire the work of Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Brian Greene, Simon Singh, and Carl Sagan; for anyone curious about the workings and aims of the Large Hadron Collider, the biggest and most expensive machine ever built by mankind; for those who firmly believe in the importance of science and rational thought; and for anyone interested in how the Universe began…and how it might ultimately end.

Knocking on heaven's door. This is a wordy book by typically a self-centered, self-aggrandizing Harvard professor. If all the stories of her awards and travels were removed along with all her explanations of how each chapter is organized, the book would be 60% shorter. There is some science in the book. Some of it was even well explained. It is lost in the verbiage, however. This book is a waste of time and money.

Lisa Randall is an exciting physicist. I recently had the pleasure of attending the book signing at the 92nd street Y, in Manhattan for Knocking on Heaven's Door. Previously, Lisa Randall authored Warped Passages which functions as an exciting book, and fun read into cutting edge, theorectical physics from a daring Harvard theoretical physicist. Unfortunately, many people found the book difficult to read, so Dr. Randall in her wisdom wrote Knocking on Heaven's Door to help explain Warped Passages and address some topics not discussed in Warped Passages. Either way, this offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a leading theoretical physicist who is writing for the common man or woman.
