In this beginner's guide John Gribbin takes the reader through the basics and the fundamental issues of the crucial areas of modern science - from the birth of the universe through to the evolution of our own species, the nature of human behaviour and the workings of our minds. The book not only provides an overview of the central areas in a single volume, but also explains how the areas link up, what evolutionary theory has to say about how we think, how sub-atomic particles came into being in the big bang, and elements in stars.
Conscientiously and carefully written, John Gribbon makes the difficult accessible, carefully explaining each new idea and defining each new term as and when it arises and bringing to people who have little grounding a map of the world of science.
