Reader Reviews:
Very clear language for an immensly difficult subject. (3/3 people found this helpful)
This book gives a very good overview about man's view on the universe. Starting with the acient Greeks and ending with the modern theories about how the universe came into existans. This book does not talk about the way Stephen Hawking sees our universe (there are only 5 pages dedicated to Stephen Hawking's view). The authors stays very objective about all modern theories, so you can decide for yourself what you want to believe or not. If you don't know anything about cosmology or the universe, this book is really worthwile. Very clear language for an immensly difficult subject!
