.".. is a worthwhile elementary treatment of the cosmology of the
early Universe written with a liveliness and simplicity that will
surely encourage students to pursue the subject further.''
John D Barrow
Nature, 1989
.".. a superb guide to what is known about cosmology....The
authors also leave you with a sense of anticipation and
excitement.''
David Hughes
New Scientist, 1989
"The book is well written and interesting, particularly in its
use of Chinese stories throughout ... The book contains all the
standard material found in such texts. The chapters on the
thermodynamics of the Universe are particularly good ... this is a
first-rate book of its genre and is heartily recommended."
Kenneth Dunn
Mathematical Reviews, 1993
"The best popular account of the science that explains how the
universe can be friendly to life is a book, 'Creation of the
Universe', by the Chinese astronomers, Fang Li Zhi and Li Shu Xian.
The book was translated into English and published by World
Scientific Publishing in 1989. Fang Li Zhi is the famous dissident
astronomer now living in exile in the United States. I particularly
recommend Chapter 6, with the title 'How Order Was Born of Chaos'.
This tells the same story that I am telling you today, but with
more detail and more depth."
