| book description |

How to Love the Universe is a new kind of science writing by an author truly enamored of the world around him. In ten short chapters of lyrical proseâ€”each one an ode to a breathtaking realm of discoveryâ€”Stefan Klein uses everyday objects and events as a springboard to meditate on the beauty of the underlying science. Klein sees in a single rose the sublime interdependence of all life; a day of stormy weather points to the worldâ€™s unpredictability; a marble conjures the birth of the cosmos. As he contemplates the deepest mysteriesâ€”the nature of reality, dark matter, humanityâ€™s place among the galaxies, and moreâ€”Klein encourages us to fall in love with the universe the way scientists do: with a grasp of the key ideas and theories of twenty-first-century physics that bring to life the wonders of, really, everything. You wonâ€™t look at a roseâ€”or at our worldâ€”the same way again.
