  — New York Times Book Review

• “A very enjoyable read for both lay readers and scientists.”

  — Science

  — Sunday Times (London)

• “Startlingly honest [and] beautifully written…Randall’s calm authority and clarity of explanation are exemplary…Like being taken behind the curtain in Oz and given a full tour by the wizard.”

  — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

• “Writing in a deceptively chatty narrative style, Randall provides a fascinating window into the excitement of discovery and the rigor required to test and elaborate new hypotheses. A top-notch science book from a leading researcher.”

  — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

• “Narrator Carrington MacDuffie provides a straightforward narration, which is all this book requires…If you have any interest in the subject, this is as good an audio presentation as could possibly be done.”

  — AudioFile

• “A provocative and revealing account of how scientists like [Randall] are uncovering deep connections between human existence and the wider universe. A terrific read.”

  — Timothy Ferris, Pultizer Prize nominee
