Encyclopedia Of The Universe

This new highly illustrated encyclopedia sets out to explain how the Universe works and to describe every feature a unique undertaking in a single volume. It covers the discovery and explanation of the universe from the Ancient Greeks who thought that the night literally had a thousand eyes sewn onto a mantle by the celestial nightwatchman Argos up to the modern day understanding of black holes, worm holes and the theoretical development of time machines. The book is designed to bring all the history and concepts to life providing an up to date explanation of how the universe works. With a 'Foreword' by Sir Martin Rees. This is a 1st edition paperback in near to fine condition-the back cover is slightly creased. (384 pages). This is a heavy book over 1.9kg, so there will be an extra postage charge.
