Where did the Universe come from? How did it begin? Although the answers
may be different, Marcelo Gleiser demonstrates in The Dancing Universe: From
Creation Myths to the Big Bang that science and religion are both entitled to
ask questions about cosmology. From the earliest myths and the Greek
philosophers, through medieval science, Galileo, Newton and the rest, to
Einstein and beyond, this is popular science as it should be: well-written,
well-explained, with a nice touch of humour. Published by Dutton, $27.95,
ISBN 0525941126.
