Cosmic Quest Omnibus - Chance and Purpose in a Violent Universe

Heather Couper presents an omnibus edition of her major new narrative history of astronomy. Technological advances over the last 50 years have enabled us to discover much about distant galaxies, quasars and black holes. Yet within our understanding of physics, there are no known fundamental reasons for much of the astronomical phenomena that we observe. Every discovery seems to throw up further mysteries. Read by Timothy West, Annette Badland, Robin Sebastian, Julian Rhind-Tutt and John Palmer.
