Compact INTRODUCING guide to the science behind the world we live in. The universe is expanding, but how long has the expansion been going on? Will it expand forever, or collapse in a Big Crunch, a Big Bang in reverse? From Aristotle to Newton, Einstein to Quantum Mechanics, INTRODUCING THE UNIVERSE - A GRAPHIC GUIDE recounts the revolutions in physics and astronomy that underlie the present-day picture of the universe.

He has published a number of scientific papers and popular articles about Einstein's theory of relativity, and three books for children.
