A Brief Welcome to the Universe

A Pocket-Sized Tour

A Brief Welcome to the Universe

A book that literally fits in your jacket pocket, this condensation of the popular, larger volume Welcome to the Universe: An Astrophysical Tour selects the most mind-blowing content of the original, while maintaining the humor and the personality of the original.

All three [authors] write in informal, conversational tones, and the text is sprinkled with genuinely funny non sequiturs, such as a brief rumination on dwarfs versus dwarves and commentary on English-speaking aliens in Star Trek. … What the book does very well is to present not just what we know about the universe but how we know it.
