Review "The Short Story of the Universe is ideal for amateur astrophysicists, as well as high school or college students taking astronomy classes." -The New York Journal of Books"The Universe is everything around us; it is the entirety of existence, the book begins. The Universe is old... And the Universe is huge. So telling this short story is no small task. But Lavender has been an astronomer and author for decades and is a great tour guide to the cosmos, whose beauty and majesty we are finally able to observe." -Ars Technica"The explanations are written in accessible language that might satisfy a highly curious 9th grader but that will also help adults as they wade their ways through other textbooks and science articles in the general press." -Forbes Long Description The Short Story of the Universe is a new introduction to the subject of the universe.
