Its core is a series of 42 full page images, each representing a ten-fold zoom into the centre of its predecessor, spanning the Universe from a scale of 1 billion light years to the distance between two quarks. In the 25 years since its publication we could reasonably extend the spatial scale of the first image to 10 billion light years, but have made only highly speculative progress in understanding the sub-nuclear scale. The book gains additional strength from the extended essay which precedes the journey from cosmos to quark, and the erudite captions which accompany each step. The Morrison's writing is also a treat: elegant, spare, graceful, and eloquent. If I were able to keep only ten books from my library, this would be one of them. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
