Before the Big Bang

At one time a taboo subject, science is now prepared to look back past the beginning - to answer the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything with something more satisfying than Douglas Adams' cryptic '42'.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SELECTION

Clegg follows in the footsteps of Carl Sagan's Cosmos, Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time and Timothy Ferris's Coming of Age in the Milky Way.
