He explores the questions that have occurred to even casual readers -- who are curious about nature on the largest scales: What does it mean to say that the universe is \"expanding,\" or that space is \"curved\"? -- and sheds light on the possibility that our universe is only one among many universes, each with its own physical laws and prospects for the emergence of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Ferris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.41h x 5.57w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684838618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/19\/1998 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTimothy Ferris is the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eComing of Age in the Milky Way\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the American Institute of Physics Prize) and \u003ci\u003eThe Mind's Sky\u003c\/i\u003e (named one of the best books of the year by \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e), among other books.
