Rezension:
'An AMAZING thing to read. So SATISFYING, I REALLY RECOMMEND reading this book...FASCINATING' Jeremy Vine
'FASCINATING... a MIND BOGGLING new book' Afternoon Edition with Nihal Arthanayake, BBC Radio
'There are few better than Cox at turning tricksy, potentially dense subjects into captivating "edutainment" for the masses - be it in BBC documentaries, live shows or books. Not for nothing did Sir David Attenborough once proclaim: "If I had a torch I would hand it to Brian Cox."' Guy Kelly, Daily Telegraph
'A spellbinding cosmic exploration that resists collapsing under the weight of jargon.' Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Professors Brian Cox & Jeff Forshaw
'They have blazed a clear trail into forbidding territory, from the mathematical structure of space-time all the way to atom bombs, astrophysics and the origin of mass.' New Scientist
'Inspirational' Buzz Aldrin
'A scientific match made in heaven' Observer
'Cox and Forshaw stand together at the cutting edge of their discipline ... Despite their elevated status, both men remain tiggerishly excitable about their subject' Financial Times
'Mindblowing' Sunday Times
'I can think of no one, Stephen Hawking included, who more perfectly combines authority, knowledge, passion, clarity, and powers of elucidation than Brian Cox.' Stephen Fry, 2009
'Admirably shies away from dumbing down' Economist
'They do a great job of bringing a difficult subject to life' The Times
'If you're not a physicist (or not yet a physicist) and you want to understand what Einstein and relativity theory are all about, you would do well to read this book. The writing is clear, sparkling in places, and totally without vanity ... [A] delightful little book' Huffington Post
< br>'Readers will enjoy this engaging, ambitious and creative tour of our quantum universe' Guardian
