Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"One of BBC Science Focus Magazine's Best Books of 2020"
"A nice little book for those who have some knowledge of the subject."---Laura Nuttall, BBC Sky at Night Magazine
"This ranks alongside Steven Weinberg’s The First Three Minutes as the best book on cosmology I have read. A compact treasure-trove of cosmic insights to be read, mulled over, and read again."---Marcus Chown, BBC Science Focus Magazine
"[An] enthusiastic and approachable survey of the state of cosmology today. . . . It’s got to be the best, most up-to-date, “little” introduction to cosmology."---David Appell, Physics World
"Books like this one help to perform a valuable role in making these discoveries accessible and understandable to a wider audience."---Simon Cocking, Irish Tech News
"It’s no small feat, trying to describe the Universe in 152 pages. But the very aptly named Little Book of Cosmology takes this task head-on, by stripping the narrative down to its bare essentials." * Nature Astronomy *
"[The Little Book of Cosmology] provides a good high-level overview of our current knowledge of cosmology, without warping spacetime or a bookshelf."---Jeff Foust, The Space Review
