Seller's Description:
First edition, early printing of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist's classic work. Octavo, original black cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "To John Steven Weinberg Oct 2000." Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket with a touch of rubbing. In The First Three Minutes, Weinberg attempts to explain the early stages of the Universe after the Big Bang: from Very Early Universe (Planck epoch ending 10â'32 seconds after the Big Bang to the Early Universe (starting of the Photon epoch, from 10 seconds after the Big Bang and over). "The First Three Minutes is science writing at its best" (Martin Gardner, New York Review of Books).
For anyone interested in current thinking in cosmology, this is the book to get. Most of the math has been banished to the appendix, but it does require some knowledge of physics. If you have that, though, I think you will find this splendid.
