You Are Here: A Portable History of the Universe
by Christopher Potter
To think about the Universe is to ask again the childhood questions we no longer ask: What is everything? And what is nothing?
From this starting point, Christopher Potter embarks on a fascinating exploration of the mysteries of the Universe, and of our place in it. His book is a lively and highly readable investigation of the extent of our knowledge; and how far science can go in answering the ultimate questions.
