Written for the educated non-scientist and scientist alike, the book spans a variety of scientific disciplines, from observational astronomy to particle physics. Concepts that the reader will encounter along the way are at the cutting edge of scientific research, however the themes are explained in such a way that no prior understanding of science beyond a high school education is necessary.
