A Short History of the Universe > Customer Review #1:
Great introduction to cosmology

The science of cosmology gives a quantitative foundation to our views about the universe. A Short History of the Universe explains in laymans terms and with excellent pictures how our theories of the structure of the universe have evolved, thus feeding the areas of philosophy and religion. What do we mean if we say that the universe has limits, but is also infinite? Why is it that the sun is considered to be halfway through its lifetime? How can the universe be expanding in every direction that we look when the earth is not at the center of the universe? These sorts of questions are answered--and answered well. If you have curiosity about how the heavens are studied, this book is definitely worth your time.
