In Search of the Big Bang: The Life and Death of the Universe
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In this radically revised and updated edition incorporating the latest scientific findings, award-winning author John Gribbin explores the origins of the universe and considers its ultimate fate. He traces the long road to the first detailed model of the Big Bang in the 1940s and reveals how an accurate measurement of the age of the universe has helped to provide conclusive proof of the theory of the Big Bang.
"A remarkably readable guide to the mysteries of cosmic creation." --Nature
"Witty, entertaining and learned, his book is the work of an expert raconteur." --The Economist
