Description: How the Universe Got Its Spots by Janna Levin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Is the universe infinite or just really big? With this question, cosmologist Janna Levin announces the central theme of this book, which established her as one of the most direct, unorthodox, and creative voices in contemporary science. As Levin sets out to determine how big "really big" may be, she offers a rare intimate look at the daily life of an innovative physicist, complete with jet lag and the tensions between personal relationships and the extreme demands of scientific exploration. Nimbly explaining geometry, topology, chaos, and string theory, Levin shows how the pattern of hot and cold spots left over from the big bang may one day reveal the size of the cosmos. The result is a thrilling story of cosmology by one of its leading thinkers.[A] lovely, utterly original book. . . . This intimate account of the life and thought of a physicist is one of the nicest scientific books I have ever read-personal and honest, clear and informative, entertaining and difficult to put down. Alejandro Gangui, American ScientistGorgeously written. Mary Carmichael, NewsweekHighly original. . . . Few scientists are capable of putting their understanding and experiences into words as effectively. Peter Coles, NatureScience as it is lived. . . . [Levins] book is a gift. Corey S.
