He spends much of his preface providing an explanation why he thought the inclusion of the underlying mathematics critical to his book. I also like the organization.
Each chapter has its own notes pages. The bibiliography is 35 pages long. Penrose also includes, where possible, article id's to be used at arXiv.org. arXiv.org: " Open access to 762,411 e-prints in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics"
I've got that book, the contents look intimidating, to say the least.
