Hardback. From the Preface:
"I have intended this book to be more than just a description of developments in modern physics and astronomy. Instead I have tried to show how all physical systems, from a man to a galaxy, share the common, and somewhat enigmatic, quality of organization." Davies tackles the "incredible history of the cosmos--from primeval fire to the death of space and time," and does it in a highly readable and understandable fashion.
