Chronicle Supposing Books Wonders of the Universe (Wonders of Brian Cox #2)

Having watched the four part TV series, I was delighted to acquire the accompanying book which is in four parts, matching the TV series. Professor Cox has a way of explaining the complex in the most simple of terms and I loved every moment of my read. I learned more from this one book regarding the universe than from anything else I have read. I began to understand entropy which I never thought I would. And the photos are stunning. Not only does it cover the beginning, progression and the current development of everything in the known universe, it also predicts the future. "...our understanding of fundamental physics allows us to make concrete predictions about how they will end their days." And he is talking of the ultimate destiny of the universe in about '10 to the power of 100' years - and as he says, that is a big number. To me, that is the biblical equivalent of sound prophecy - based on science. Thus, although believers in gods may not like it, as this accurately covers all known space/time, past, present and future, to me it is the ultimate Bible - and science is God and people like Cox are his prophets. My all time favourite learning experience, coupled with Dawkins' 'Greatest Show on Earth' through which I gained a similarly satisfying understanding of evolution.

An inspiring introduction to the wonders of the Universe.

This book is interesting and informative-you can tell Brian Cox is a professor who is passionate about his subject. If only I had a teacher like him... :) Definitely worth reading.

The perfect place to start if you're interested in studying Astronomy, Astrophysics and/or Cosmology. The author explains everything clearly with beautiful images and easy to understand diagrams and charts. This is a very approachable book and I can not recommend it enough. I highly recommend giving this book a try.

Nice collection of interesting bits about cosmology and science. I picked it up from the library to try and catch up on what is commonly known now that wasn't known in the 1980s when I last took a physics class. The book has a nice format of bite-sized articles about scientific concepts that are really quite interesting. Text and illustrations are both very accessible. I enjoyed the bit that explains what a rainbow is and all of the discussion of the birth and death of stars. 100 billion

Like the other books in the series I really enjoyed reading this one. It went a bit further and deeper into things than wonders of the solar system and wasn't as fragmented.Brian Cox explains how events in the cosmos relate to events on Earth such as how a star turning into a black dwarf is similar to a 100 year old ship rotting away rotting away in a desert. I enjoyed these examples however I did think sometimes that there was too much, when I want to read a book about the universe and the

"Two and a half million years ago, when our distant relative Homo habilis was foraging for food across the Tanzanian savannah, a beam of light left the Andromeda Galaxy and began its journey across the Universe. As that light beam raced across space at the speed of light, generations of pre-humans and humans lived and died; whole species evolved and became extinct, until one member of that unbroken lineage, me, happened to gaze up into the sky below the constellation we call Cassiopeia and focus
