This is a short and interesting history of the development of the competing cosmological theories. Borrow recounts the discoveries that lead to the invention of the Big Bang theory, and the contributions of scientific greats like Einstein and Hawking. He discusses how particle theory and cosmology are related and what is now, (or was in 1997, when the book was published) the cutting edge theories of the inflationary universe. As with the Skunk Works book I read, this one left me wanting to know how the field has developed in the two decades since this book was published. This is a great choice for the 6th-8th grade science geek. (176, 1997)
