The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory by Brian R. Greene
This new popular guide to string theory is absolutely essential reading. There have been transformative theoretical discoveries made by string theorists in the last few years -- insights that have changed the way theoretical physicists think about spacetime itself. String theorist Brian Greene has both the expertise and the flair to compose a compelling and highly readable portrait of the "cutting edge of the cutting edge" in theoretical physics.

Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps and the Tenth Dimension by Michio Kaku
Kaku has written an extraordinarily lucid and thought-provoking exploration of the theoretical and empirical bases of a ten-dimensional universe such as is called for in superstring theory, and discusses possible practical implications.

The Search for Superstrings, Symmetry, and the Theory of Everything by John R. Gribbin
For those who have trouble visualizing parallel parking, much less parallel universes or quarks and gluons, British science writer John Gribbin is to the rescue with an up-to-date primer on subatomic physics. The Search for Superstrings, Symmetry, and the Theory of Everything refers as much to the reader's search for understanding as to the physicist's search for clever theories and experimental evidence to back them up, and Gribbin's prose is up to both tasks.

The New Ambidextrous Universe : Symmetry and Asymmetry, from Mirror Reflections to Superstrings by Martin Gardner
Martin Gardner takes an entertaining look at one of man's most puzzling questions: Is the universe symmetrical? This book is a popular survey of mirror symmetry (left vs. right) and asymmetry, and the significant roles they play in such diverse fields as mathematics, physics, art, music, poetry, and more.

Beyond Einstein: The Cosmic Quest for the Theory of the Universe by Michio Kaku, Jennifer Trainer Thompson (Contributor)
Einstein was frustrated in his efforts to construct a unified field theory of all known forces. Dr. In this book, Kaku engagingly chronicles the discoveries that have led scientists to the brightest new prospect in theoretical physics for realizing Einstein's goal. One of the leading pioneers in superstrings, Kaku approaches scientific questions with the excitement of a detective, making science not just a quest but an adventure.
