I bought this book 4 weeks ago and finished my reading only day before yesterday.. In the first and second chapter Weinberg paints his picture of the early universe.The book then proceeds to examine the evolution of the universe in the first fractions of a second and first few minutes followed by a chapter on speculations for the future development of the universe..He also writes about the future contraction of the universe and an ultimate Big Crunch.This book is a landmark for its time, but we have to pay more attention to the middle chapters than the end or the beginning.. If you are a reader with a little background in physics will find it enjoyable.. Many profound questions have been answered in this book.
