A new book on Loop Quantum Gravity

Amazon link

Some excitement about this book over at Backreaction. This from 'naivetheorist' in the comments.
".. a new book "Quantum Space" (available at Amazon UK now and at Amazon in a few weeks) is a really superb book on LQG. It is a 'pop science' book only in the sense of being equation-free. it traces the history of the development of LGQ (and string theory as well) and provides relevant biographical details on Rovelli and Smolin. it is by far the most impressive book on 'foundational physics' (as it is 'modestly' referred to by those who work on quantum gravity). I hope you will review this book with the usual incisiveness that you use in discussing arXiv manuscripts."
You can read my own thoughts here.
