Review : Outer limits

origin, evolution and fate of the entire Universe. For a comprehensive and
comprehensible overview, you can’t beat A Short History of the Universe. Joseph
Silk, one of the major players in the field, takes you the outer limits of time
and space in a delightful and insightful book. Published by Scientific American
Library/W. H. Freeman, £14.95, ISBN 0716760207.
