In this short book (160 pages), Professor James E. Lindsey of the University of London attempts to explain the latest (published in 2000) thinking in cosmology and quantum physics. Using everyday English and simple to understand analogies, he makes all of the most complex theories and concepts relatively easy to understand. I found this book to be well within my ability to understand, and yet highly informative. If you are interested in modern physics and cosmology, then I highly recommend this book to you.
