5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 20 Aug 2011
This review is from: The Origins of the Universe for Dummies® (Paperback)
5 stars. The 'For Dummies' books should be on every student's reading list. A comprehensible run down on the main topic on the origins of the universe without dumming it down too much. A must read for students or people with a general interest in the topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating book. I'll buy more Books For Dummies, 30 Jun 2010
By GoodToBeBob - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Origins of the Universe for Dummies® (Paperback)
This is one incredible book. It exposes us to the extraordinary wonders of the universe. And NO math!! You don't need math to understand the concept that the universe is expanding at an increasingly faster rate. It's not that the stars, galaxies, black holes, and quasars are moving away from each other but that the space between these objects is getting bigger. There's a lot more cool stuff.

Paid $25.61 and shipping was free. Purchased on 01-05-2010 directly from Amazon.
