Literally, a biography of the Universe. But in a captivating and informative style.
"The Universe: A Biography" makes cosmology accessible to everyone. John Gribbin navigates the latest frontiers of scientific discovery to tell us what we really know about the history of the universe. Like Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time” and other popular science publications, Gribbin’s book will explain what many feel daunted to understand, in a way that captivates and informs in equal measure.
Along the way, he describes how the universe began; what the early universe looked like; how its structure developed; and what emerged to hold it all together. Gribbin describes where the elements came from; how stars and galaxies formed; and the story of how life emerged. He even looks to the future: is the history of the universe going to end with a Big Crunch or a Big Rip?
A truly fascinating book, that will make you realise just how much of the world around you was previously unknown to you.
