Astrophysics for the common man

December 10th, 2007

Tonight Mark Frary, science and technology writer for the Times, was kind enough to invite me to the launch of his new book, The Origins of the Universe for Dummies. It’s billed as “for those who bought Brief History…, but never made it past the first chapter.” - that certainly applies to me. As well as plying me with booze and delicous tiny foodstuffs, he also gave me a free copy which I shall be devouring with equal relish.

So when you ask. “Frank, how much would you sell out and give a thinly-veiled infomerical for?”, I can reply “Two glasses of wine, several canapés, and a book, bitches!”.

Seriously though, this might be the book to reconcile me with physics.
