Why read it?

1 author picked Worlds without End as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I reckon half the books I read are non-fiction and I love none more than those that explain more about the universe. Astronomy and cosmology are fast moving areas, discoveries come in train. This book has the sub-title: Exoplanets, habitability and the future of humanity. With the main theme of the discovery of more and more planets in solar systems other than our own it ranges wide and explains well.

The thought of planets perhaps like ours, maybe harbouring life of some sort (if not civilisations), fascinates many people, this book might just get you interested in an area…
