Customer Reviews
Great reference book for anyone interested in the Cosmos
This is another of John Gribbins great books. It documents all the major cosmological discoveries in an A-Z format, including biographies of important scientists in the field. I find it really helpful when I just want to look up something quickly. It also comes with a timeline of important dats at the end of the book.
