Amusing analogies and creative cinematography help to simplify complex
subjects for the layperson in a weekly six-part television series, Stephen
Hawking’s Universe, which began last Sunday on BBC2. You’ll trace the history of
cosmology from the ancient Greeks to the present, with explanations from some of
the world’s leading scientists. A book of the same title, by David Filkin,
accompanies the series. Published by BBC Books, £19.99, ISBN 0563383011.
