Jo Dunkley combines her expertise as an astrophysicist with her talents as a teacher and writer in this lively and exceptionally clear introduction to the structure and history of the universe and its enduring mysteries.Most of us have heard of black holes and supernovas, galaxies and the Big Bang.
