Michio Kaku (born January 24, 1947 in California, USA) - is an American scientist, expert in the field of theoretical physics. He is known as an active popularizer of science and author of scientific books. In May of this year he read lecture in Nazarbayev University in Astana. We think that now, when summer holidays are in full swing, you will be interested to read his books, which tells, in a simple and interesting way, about complicated things: science, technics, universe and future. There are many free links on the author’s works. We offer you to visit two of them: «Physics of the Future», 2012 http://ezobookslibrary.ru/news/mitio_kaku_...2012-05-20-1072 «Physics of Incredible», 2009 http://ezobookslibrary.ru/news/mitio_kaku_.../2009-10-19-100 Some facts about the author: At the age of 16 the boy was the best chess player in school and made scientific experiments in his parents’ garage.
