Reviews:

"...what a book this is! Rarely does a popular book hold the attention of an active researcher in the field and compel him to read it carefully from cover to cover... This book is a must-read for all high shcool and undergraduate students fascinated by and curious about the cosmos. The simple style of the writing makes it easy to read. It is almost as if someone is talking to you through the pages and giving you a balanced picture of contemporary cosmology. The book is concise and the chapters are short, and yet the magic is that you cover immense ground and learn a lot..."
