Gribbin is a gifted scientific writer who - through clear description, illustration and example - can make things very understandable to the completely non-scientific in chapters like "How Did the Early Universe Develop?" and "Where Did Life Originate?" And even one who's read widely in these areas will learn a number of new things and find many of Gribbin's explanations fascinating.
