Internally neat, clean, bright and tight with a prize presentation plate on the front paste down. In its original dust jacket (lightly bumped at edges, spine a tad sunned). Heidmann takes the reader on an extraordinary journey through all of space and time, starting when time is zero and space is nothing, into an almost infinite zone. On the way you encounter microcosmos of quarks and strange particles, seared by enormous temperatures and for billions of years you voyage through the universe as we know it today.
