Brave new universe: illuminating the darkest secrets of the cosmos

For all the fancy equipment and reams of arcane data, say Halpern (physics and mathematics, U. of the Sciences, Philadelphia) and Wesson (physics, U. of Waterloo, Canada), some of the most poignant dilemmas of the universe can best be tackled through sheer reasoning. They explore some of the findings and missings of cosmology for general readers. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
