Alpha and Omega: The Search for the Beginning and End of the Universe

Great read and easy to understand for general reader

I bought it second hand and extremely cheap, just to read the last few chapters. It is one of the most interesting books that I have ever read. 5+ stars for the content. The structure of the book is perfect. It is written in a very simple-to-understamd way. No previous knowledge is needed. I highly recommend reading it.

As a book which gives a scientific historical perspective on development of cosmological thought, this is definitely a good read. However, by almost totally omitting anti matter and the nature of arrow of time, Charles fails to place a holistic definite workable model of the alpha and the omega . May be read by beginners but for seekers of higher truths, may not be worth it.

A fascinating must read.

Very good book, sometimes some concepts are difficult to comprehend - even when "dumbed down" for the lay public. Well written and entertaining as much as it is educational.
