Buy It, Read It, Keep It

If you're drawn to physics, astronomy, cosmology, or anything related then buy this book and hold it close. It's truly the HUMAN story of the heavens. It reads like a novel but teaches like a text. Thoroughly enjoyable, wonderfully informative. I read my copy at least once a year just to enjoy it again.
