Understanding the Universe

In this guide to our cosmos, Smolinski presents a candid challenge to people from all walks of life--consider our place in the universe. With all of its broad implications, this illuminating book helps readers do just that by picking apart the Solar System that we know and expanding upon that to touch on other galaxies and dimensions that most people only dream about.

By presenting formulas, data and theories in ways that can be understood by even the most mathematically challenged, Smolinski's guide is a testament that the many worlds out there in space are more tangible than we can imagine. All it takes is an open mind and a willingness to grasp the mysteries that lie beyond what we can see from earth.
