The Book of Universes by John D Barrow

This is a book about universes. It tells a story that revolves around a single extraordinary fact: that Albert Einstein's famous theory of relativity describes a series of entire universes.

There can be few better guides to the bewildering array of potential universes, and none so readable or entertaining * Independent *
Engrossing.. He has a fluent and engaging style of writing and a good eye for an unusual quotation, and as a popularising historian of science, he is second to none * Sunday Times *
A stunning tour of potential universes, introducing us to the brilliant physicists and mathematicians who first revealed these startling possibilities... [and] the latest insights that physics and astronomy have to offer about our own universe * Guardian *
