A Beginner's Guide to the Big Bang and Beyond.
How did the universe begin? An overwhelming body of evidence now suggests that the answer to one of the most fundamental questions in science is provided by the Big Bang theory - the idea that all matter, space, energy and time originated from a single, infinitesimally small particle.
Drawing on the most up-to-date ideas and discoveries in cosmology, Mark Garlick charts the history of the expanding Universe, from its explosive beginnings to the formation of stars, galaxies, and planets, and the origin of life.
'Essential Science' guides use a stimulating mix of lively illustrations and expert, jargon-free text to explain the most important scientific topics of the day - more clearly than ever before.
