Reviews

A most remarkable achievement...presented with clarity...and great scientific accuracy.-- T.D. Lee, Nobel Laureate in Physics His book is science writing at its best.-- Martin Gardner, New York Review of Books The book is the first I have seen to put the details, both historical and conceptual, of the origin of the Universe within the grasp of the general reader... As such, it is a tremendous service to us all.-- Isaac Asimov Weinberg builds such a convincing case...that one comes away from his book feeling not only that the idea of an original cosmic explosion is not crazy but that any other theory appears scientifically irrational.-- Jeremy Bernstein, New Yorker
