by Martin Rees

The six numbers that are the subject of this absorbing book describe the nature of our Universe and the forces between particles of the matter it contains. Martin Rees explains how our very existence would not have been possible had any of the numbers been different.

Sir Martin Rees is the current Astronomer Royal, and is a Royal Society Research Professor at Cambridge University.

This is the kind of book that transforms not only how you look at a clear winter sky but also how you think about life itself’ -New Yorker.
