This review is from: The Way The Universe Works (Paperback)
Beautiful images are great companions for the universe laws. That I can say for this book, which was a gift for may daughter, who wants to be an astronomer and need to be encourage a log into physics and mathematics. When I received the book, it was more pleasing that what I was able to observe on-line. Feel free to acquire it. Keeping in mind that supporting experimental books are necessary to observe the universe and learn science.
