The Unknown Universe helped me to understand many questions I had about the origin of the universe. I really liked how it was written, using interesting questions for the reader to answer at the beginning of the chapters. Also, the style of writing was fun to read, not like many science books which are (to this reader) usually very technical and difficult to understand. Professor Hammond helped to make the topics that he wrote about understandable in a fun and interesting way that anyone could understand. I had trouble putting it down once I got started! ....Janet Ryan
This book is a novel approach to awakening interest in science in the general reader. I recommend it to the senior High School or Freshman college reader in search of stimulus in the selection of a career path.

Professor Hammond guides us on a personal tour
of the unsolved mysteries of physics at the
forefront of current research. His sense of
humor and writing style make this book an
exciting read. He discusses unsolved mysteries
from the Higgs particle all the way to dark energy.
I really enjoyed this book.
