‘Humans are much closer in size to planet Earth than they are to an atom.’
Do you know your bosons from your quarks? Your matter from your antimatter? Does the fact that the universe is just so big, and so cold, make your brain ache, or want to find out more?
Broken down into short, sharp chapters that navigate the very smallest particles – one-tenth of a billionth of a metre across (1/10,000,000,000) – to the largest, most deadly of stars, GET IN TOUCH: WITH YOUR UNIVERSE will take you through the weirdness of spacetime, wormholes and dark energy, and the inevitable, but possibly not final, collapse of the universe as we think we know it.
Unlike most books on the cosmos, it contains only a couple of mathematical equations – the most fascinating being the Drake equation, which is used to calculate the possibility of other life ‘out there’ – and instead dips into both the logical and the philosophical nature of how our human consciousness interprets the subject of our superb universe.
Peter Bull MBE is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and has taught astronomy for thirty years, presenting to primary schools, undergraduates and beyond.

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
