Revue de presse :
Praise for The Invisible Century: Einstein, Freud, and the Search for Hidden Universes: "Mr. Panek’s presentation is masterly. He almost makes relativity common-sensical, a virtuoso feat....The Einstein section is brilliant: it is the finest nontechnical presentation of general relativity I have ever read....Strikingly lucid, easy to follow and successful." —The New York Times
"Dividing his attention between the two men and equally sympathetic toward both, Panek offers a lucid account of how each arrived at his conclusions. An enjoyable blend of theories and personalities, anecdotes and explanations, Invisible Century places these two pioneering geniuses in a context that helps clarify the nature of their achievements." —The Los Angeles Times Praise for Seeing and Believing: "A deft and beautiful book!" —Richard Preston "A gem of a book. Elegant, informative, provocative, and beautifully written." —Alan Lightman "Richard Panek keeps his eye on the target, and writes with clarity and panache—so that even those who have no aptitutde for science can enjoy his narrative skill and speculative mind." —Phillip Lopate "Allows us to see in a different light a history that was in front of our eyes all along." —Boston Globe

“Fascinating . . . One of the most important stories in the history of science.”— Washington Post
In recent years, a handful of scientists has been racing to explain a disturbing aspect of our universe: only 4 percent of it consists of the matter that makes up you, me, and every star and planet. The rest is completely unknown.
Richard Panek tells the dramatic story of how scientists reached this cosmos-shattering conclusion. In vivid detail, he narrates the quest to find the “dark” matter and an even more bizarre substance called dark energy that make up 96 percent of the universe. This is perhaps the greatest mystery in all of science, and solving it will bring fame, funding, and certainly a Nobel Prize. Based on hundreds of interviews and in-depth, on-site reporting, the book offers an intimate portrait of the bitter rivalries and fruitful collaborations, the eureka moments and blind alleys, that have redefined science and reinvented the universe.
“A lively new account of twentieth-century (plus a little twenty-first-century) cosmology . . . The book is as much about how the science got done as about the science itself.”—Salon
