Summary: Cosmology for Dummies
Comment: Karen Fox has made unexplainable explainable. She has taken a very tough subject and made it accessible to the lay reader. I highly recommend this book. I also had the good fortune to see her discuss her book at a local independent book store. She was great. If her book tour comes to your city, don't miss it.

Rating: 5
Summary: Why You'll Want to Read This Book
Comment: Karen Fox has the freshest of writing styles and a complete grasp of her subject. Her voice is, at once, playful and intimate. Readers will follow her anywhere. With a winning, light touch, she presents just the right details to give such characters as Plato, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton memorable personalities, and places their accomplishments in the context of a greater story. Inspiring work. An irresistible read.

Rating: 5
Summary: Scientific Complexity Made Comprehensible
Comment: Karen Fox has a unique ability to explain difficult scientific concepts to lay people, and has done so brilliantly in her new book explaining current theories of the origin of the universe. She is to be highly commended for putting these theories in perspective, telling us what appears to be supported by compelling evidence, yet letting us know how much uncertainty still exists. We can only hope that Ms. Fox will continue to expand our scientific horizons in language that one does not have to be a PHD to understand.
