Humans have long sought to comprehend the enormities of cosmic space and time. Here, best selling science writer Timothy Ferris tells the story of that quest. He interweaves the majestic themes of astronomy, physics, religion, and philosophy with fresh and lasting portraits of the men and women who created what has been called one of society's most precious treasures - its conception of the universe at large. Whether you're a scientist or a bicycle mechanic/poseur, you'll delight in this compelling look at man's search for understanding. I know I have--I've been reading it for a year now! I start reading and within 10 minutes it's lights out, nighty-night!
