{"product_id":"the-whole-shebang-timothy-ferris-9780684838618","title":"The Whole Shebang: A State of the Universe Report","description":"From the prizewinning author who has been called \"the greatest science writer in the world\" comes this delightfully comprehensive and comprehensible report on how science today envisions the universe as a whole. \u003cbr\u003eTimothy Ferris provides a clear, elegantly written overview of current research and a forecast of where cosmological theory is likely to go in the twenty-first century. He explores the questions that have occurred to even casual readers -- who are curious about nature on the largest scales: What does it mean to say that the universe is \"expanding,\" or that space is \"curved\"? -- and sheds light on the possibility that our universe is only one among many universes, each with its own physical laws and prospects for the emergence of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Ferris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0684838613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684838618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.41h x 5.57w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/19\/1998 pg. 28","brand":"Timothy Ferris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992275353855,"sku":"9780684838618","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa6281d8-b206-4089-884a-76cf7c8ad884.jpg?v=1683315098","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-whole-shebang-timothy-ferris-9780684838618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
