A welcome re-issue of the epic volume about mankind's place in the universe, first published back in 1986. Barrow and Tipler show that there is an intimate relationship between our existence and the fundamental laws of physics. They take us on a tour of the universe, and look at its ultimate fate. Scholarly, packed with references, and not afraid of offering a few equations, but an absorbing book that rewards the dedicated reader. (Kirkus UK)
Is there any connection between the vastness of the universe of stars and galaxies and the existence of life on a small planet out in the suburbs of the Milky Way?

This book shows that there is. In a classic work, John Barrow and Frank Tipler examine the question of Mankind's place in the Universe, taking the reader on a tour of many scientific disciplines and offering fascinating insights into issues such as the nature of life, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and the past history and fate of our universe.
