Enjoy Our Universe
You Have No Other Choice
Alvaro De Rujula
Reviews and Awards
"...a truly original and unconventional essay for agile minds. There are no doubts that this book will be appreciated not only by the public but also by undergraduate students, teachers and active scientists." -- CERN Courier
"... the author tries successfully to condense everything from theoretical physics, to astronomy, to elementary particles and everything in between in a small book meant for the uninitiated." --Nature Astronomy
"Alvaro De Rújula takes us on an exciting trip from the Big Bang, to the Expanding Universe, to the intricacies of Quantum Physics, telling us both how much we know, and how much we don't know. He does this very personally, and with humor, insight and almost no mathematics. What a fantastic journey!" -- Barry Barish, Nobel Laureate in Physics, California Institute of Technology
"Enjoy Our Universe is a spectacularly wide-ranging introduction to the disciplines lying at the ends of the ladder of size: particle theory and cosmology. De Rújula's light touch and imaginative illustrations should make many fascinating aspects of these fundamental sciences accessible to the canonical well-educated lay reader. He offers a scientifically scrupulous description of all you might care to know about our marvellous universe." -- Sheldon Lee Glashow, Nobel Laureate in Physics, Boston University
