    Outstanding and all inclusive treatment of current knowledge of the Universe

    This series explores all the major points of interest regarding the formation, constituants, behavior and geometry of the universe. It does so in a very understandable manner suitable for presentation to the layman as well a those who have a moderate amount of pre-existing knowledge of the subject. The visuals are awesome and utilize up to date photos of the subjects under discussion. It will beome a well used part of my technical library.
