The superstar physicist who wants to make science accessible to all * Channel 4 News * A dazzling book. . . Meet the new Stephen Hawking. . . I've never seen special relativity explained so well, never visualised it less fuzzily, never felt such a jolt of shock at what it implies -- James McConnachie * Sunday Times * A dizzying, poetic work in which I found myself abandoning everything I thought I knew about time -- certainly the idea that it "flows", and even that it exists at all, in any profound sense -- Charlotte Higgins * Guardian * An elegantly concise primer makes theoretical physics intelligible. . . stunningly written -- Tom Whipple * The Times * Physics' literary superstar makes us rethink time. . . The Order of Time will surely establish Rovelli among the pantheon of great scientist-communicators. . . More of this please -- Philip Ball * New Scientist * Rovelli is one of our great scientific explicators. . . Not since Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has there been so genial an integration of physics and philosophy -- Ian Thomson * Observer * The physicist transforming how we see the universe * Financial Times * The most fun physicist to be with -- as well as the greatest explainer of physics -- Bryan Appleyard * Sunday Times *
