Average Rating: 
Rating: - A very thorough and thought provoking book about universe
I bought this book 4 weeks ago after trying out quite a few books about universe. This is by far the best book about the unimaginable universe. The things that I liked about this book are:

Rating: - The Best
Visually intoxicating! You can learn the secrets of the universe in this one volume. I have numerous DK published books all of which are excellent.

Rating: - Great coffee table book
This book is amazing. Its pictures are beautiful and explanations clear.
I leave it on my coffee table as the pictures are so beautiful and on every page. I would suggest this book for especially persons that have not had previous knowledge of the universe as this explains it all in understandable detail. Good for all ages except the very young.
