“Magnificent . . . Delightful . . . A masterpiece. A message of tremendous hope for humanity . . .

“The brilliant astronomer . . . is persuasive, provocative and readable.”—United Press International

“Closely reasoned, impeccably researched, gently humorous, utterly devastating.”—The Washington Post
