This book is a wonderful example of popular science writing, putting readers into the shoes of a team of scientists as they seek new ways to measure and understand the fundamental timeline, scope, and principles of the universe. As a biologist with an amateur interest in cosmology, it also highlights to me the astounding parallels across multiple scales that exist in the natural world: how studying something as massive and ancient as the expansion of the universe can provide inspiration for our journey toward understanding the intricate inner workings of a single cell.
