About This Item
New York: Bantam, 2010. First edition. hardcover. A near fine copy in a near fine fine dust jacket. A marvelously concise book with new answers to the ultimate questions of life. When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? Why is there something rather than nothing? What is the nature of reality? Why are the laws of nature so finely tuned as to allow for the existence of beings like ourselves? And, finally, is the apparent "grand design" of our universe evidence of a benevolent creator who set things in motion, or does science offer another explanation? Illustrated. 199 pages with index.
