Universal
We dare to imagine a time before the Big Bang, when the entire Universe was compressed into a space smaller than an atom. And now, as Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw show, we can do more than imagine: we can understand. Over the centuries, the human urge to discover has unlocked an incredible amount of knowledge. What it reveals to us is breathtaking. Universal takes us on an epic journey of scientific exploration and, in doing so, reveals how we can all understand some of the most fundamental questions about our Earth, Sun, Solar System and the star-filled galaxies beyond.Some of these questions - How big is our solar system? How fast is space expanding? - can be answered from your back garden

Review:
There is still much to learn about our universe. Universal will help inspire those who share my fascination with our planets, the solar system and beyond. -- Buzz Aldrin Cox and Forshaw stand together at the cutting edge of their discipline ... despite their elevated status, both men remain tiggerishly excitable about their subject ... they popularize without dumbing down * Financial Times * A scientific match made in heaven * Observer * They do a great job of bringing a difficult subject to life * The Times *
