Media reviews

...this is the first book in a proposed series that examines the big questions in science. If the other authors tackle their topics with such objectivity, clarity and verve, the series should be a resounding success... (Astronomy and Space, March 2005) "the layout of the book is first class... A first rate book , having a permanent place in my library and I look forward to reading future work by the author..." (BBC Three Counties Radio -- quote from transcript, 27 May 2002) "...This is a book very much intended for the non--specialist and it can be recommended as a lightweight and light--hearted introduction to the field..." (The Observatory Magazine, December 2002) "...An insight into the best theory so far to explain the universe we see today..." (Astronomy Now, January 2003)
