The Universe in a nutshell - By: Charlie T., 12 Apr 2008
This is much more than a book about galaxies. Within the small space of a Very Short Introduction John Gribbin manages to packin as great deal about the history of astronomy, cosmology, & the fate of the Universe. Although it isin a (sort of) academic series, it's as readable as his less academic books, & bang up to date. Explains how our Milky Way is just an average galaxy, one of hundreds of billions of galaxiesin the expanding Universe. Great value!
