“The author has succeeded where other authors have sometimes failed, namely to explain a topic at the forefront of science and hence far removed from ordinary human experience so that it can be understood by scientists in neighbouring fields and also by non-scientists who are familiar with the basic facts … In under 100 pages, the author summarizes the different models of contemporary scientific cosmology and shows how each model has tried to overcome the shortcomings of the preceding one. Then he presents the observational results that have led to the development of the Inflationary Model, the most recent attempt to understand the initial phases of cosmic evolution. He shows that these results can also be explained without making the implausible assumptions of that approach. He does so with a minimum of mathematical reasoning, employing convincing logical arguments instead whenever possible. Occasional references to the author's own experiences in the search for a valid cosmological model add a personal touch to the book.”
