His book the “Elegant Universe”:http://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Universe-Superstrings-Dimensions-Ultimate/dp/0393058581/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1214663305&sr=8-2 is 450 pages of awesomeness about string theory and everything around. It takes a little longer than 18 minutes though ;)
Thanks! There’s also a DVD of the Nova show with the same material.
