This is a very convincing book and it explains a great deal. While it is more or less intermediate in its coverage of the material, it does review the basics of special and general relativity and quantum theory. The author's avowed goal is to explain the mathematics that Professor Myron Evans has used in developing a unified field theory, not to make the reader do any of the math. In this the author succeeds most of the time. There are some places where the math becomes fairly sophisticated and real study is required to understand it.
A unified field theory is developed and some new results are presented. Explanations for some of the unexplained problems in the standard model are given. This gives strong support to the veracity of the theory.

Starting from Einstein's R = kT and some vector equations, the author shows how Einstein's field equation and a new wave equation are derived from the same initial equation. The unification wave equation is (¡õ + kT) qa¦Ì = 0.

In explaining R = kT, the author explains the equations stating that R is geometric curvature, T is energy density, and k is just a conversion factor. He shows that R is mathematics and T is physics. In explaining (¡õ + kT) qa¦Ì = 0, he shows how the equation is part quantum mechanics, part Einstein general relativity, and part Cartan differential geometry. Each of these is explained in some depth so that the ideas are clear.

A large number of essential concepts are covered ¨C the nature of spacetime, symmetries that allow the wave equation to describe all the fields of physics, and Cartan differential geometry.

The figures are excellent and different from the run of the mill general relativity or quantum mechanics book. There are a lot of them and they show what the text and math are describing. There is also an excellent 70 page glossary that serves as a reference with both basic and details about the text.

Author tried to explain complicate mathematical method of Dr. Evans and some subjects of Quantum Theory and Einstein's General Relativity by simple words. However, the subject was very hard and he had very limited success. What I was able to understand and to remember he could put in ten times less pages. He also kept repeating the same sentences on several places. I think it is imposible to understand Dr. Evan's formulas without studying Cartan's differential geometry first. I found some differential geometry lectures in my math university book, but it was too simple and without tetrad and other symbols Elie Cartan used. This book is not worth the price I paid as basic things about Dr. Evans theory could be found on internet. I gave three stars only because of his attempt to explain hard subjects.
