Universe in Creation - A New Understanding of the Big Bang and the Emergence of Life

Offering a fresh take on what brought the world - and us - into being, Roy Gould helps us see the universe as the master of its own creation, not tethered to a singular event but burgeoning as new space and energy stream into existence. He explores whether life itself - rather than a mere cosmic afterthought - may be written into the basic laws of nature.
