Hi everyone! - 01-30-2008, 01:19 PM

Hello.

As you may suspect, this one is just to introduce myself. My name is Carlos and I'm 28, from Madrid, SPAIN. I'm an airline pilot but also a pasionate for science.

I came across this web looking the internet for info about the book I've just received today from Amazon and read (till page 67 as of this very moment). All I can say so far, is just that I'm completely shocked and amazed! What a book!...I'm sure I'll have a lot of ideas and comments to share with you all in the very near future. I'm going to continue this amazing reading.

It's my pleasure to meet you all.

Best regards.
Carlos -=< Air Borne >=-

Hi Airborne, welcome to the Land of TOE. You have entered a place with plenty of interesting writings. I hope you join in on the discussions.
What is the name of the book you are reading?

Hi PoPpAScience.

Thanks for your welcome and sorry, I forgot to say what book I was refering to. The book is (I suppose you already know it):

"The Final Theory, rethinking our scientific legacy", by Mark McCutcheon.

Have yoy read it?...if so...what do you think?

Best regards.

Airborne.

Hi Airborne, welcome. I just read the first chapter of that book and I think it's great! It answered my question on why a TOE is needed. I'm hoping the library has a copy of it so I can read it while I take a very long flight to Hawaii. Do you think the library will have a copy?

Hi Sally.

I really don't know but I suppose that this kind of books are far easier to find at the local library or book shop than here in Madrid if you live in the US, UK, etc...

In this country is nearly impossible to find english-written literature other than that aimed to study the english language itself. The only way to find this book here is to order to some other country. I bought my copy at Amazon UK. I'm 100% sure there's no library or book shop here that has this book or any other alike for sale/lend, unless it is written in spanish.

As I tell you, I think you have many more possibilities than me to find it at the library. Try it...I think is a great book. So far, up to what I have read I love it, yet my mind has made some "objentions" to some issues but, I'm going to be patitent and wait to see if the book resolves this objections in following pages.


Best regards.

Carlos.

I just searched the main and surrounding libraries and it's not available. That's too bad coz they have so many books and of course they won't carry the one I want to read. Next time I go, I'm just going to let my baby run wild inside there.

Welcome to the forums, Airborne. It is always good to see someone with a passion for science! I look forward to future discussions in the scientific forums.
