Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos: The Story of the Scientific Quest for the Secret of the Universe by Dennis Overbye

davecapp's review against another edition

5.0

One of the most interesting and thought provoking books I've read Ina very long time. And this review is being written 22 years after my first reading. For those fascinated by science - not just the answers, but the search, the personalities and the process that all happens in the background, this is a must read. You won't be disappointed.

An excellent book in all ways. Overbye humanizes a field which often seems cold and distant, and tells the tale of the men and women who have developed the field of astronomy. At the same time, this book provides an excellent overview of cosmology itself in terms everyone can understand.

This was the first popular astronomy book I read. Compelling and very readable.
