The Universe in Your Hand: A Journey Through Space, Time and Beyond

Synopsis

Imagine if the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy were a real, practical book about the mysteries of the universe. The universe in your hand takes us on a wonder-filled journey to the surface of our dying sun, shrinks us to the size of an atom and puts us in the deathly grip of distant black holes. Along the way you might come to understand, really understand, the mind-bending science that underpins modern life, from quantum mechanics to einstein's theory of general relativity.
