With this book, Bob Berman proves once again what an exquisite writer he is. He is funny, concise and profound. Bob has the extraordinary ability to make even the most difficult concepts in astronomy easy to understand and fun,too! His talent is drawing the layperson (such as myself) into this amazing universe and showing how humans while understanding the most difficult concepts are able to apply them to everyday life. His love of science, life and his hilarious sense of humor are apparent from beginning to end. I strongly recommend this book and his other one "Secrets of the Night Sky". Bravo.

I have no complaint about the author's style of writing, the subjects he chooses (all very interesting), or any of the conclussions he sums up.
I think a great entertainment for the science reader, full of facts and observations of our surroundings at every level. A true pleasure...
However, the Kindle version is so sloppy, it can be distracting. I give the Book 5 stars, but the Kindle version 3.

I loved his first book (and I think I loved this one) but Berman's writing style often got in the way of this one... His attempts at humor and flowery writing just got out of hand here... Read the book, it's otherwise quite good, and see if you don't agree.

FYI: This is the paperback edition of "Cosmic Adventure: Other Secrets Beyond the Night Sky" previously issued in hardcover.
