This May Be What You're Looking For

It is evident from your investigation of this title that you are curious about the universe and human understanding. I have personally endured all of the confusion that results from reading the other books on cosmology and philosophy. This one is different. Prof. Munitz is a consumate teacher. He is clear and is not concerned to show how smart he is (although no one I know of is smarter). If you want to make sense of the universe and understand how humans are situated in it, then this is the only place to start. If you are a professional cosmologist who has spent a lifetime immersed in the details of astronomy, then this book will expand your horizons and satisfy a deep need that cannot be met elsewhere.
