This comes under the multitalent catagory. This is not to be an advertisement. (unless you, like me are intrested in astronomy and cosmology)
The point is notice that one of the authors of this book is none other than Queen guitarist Brian May.

Glad to see he's been keeping busy.

"Bang! The Complete History of the Universe"

Superstar Brian completed his opus as part of a new band, working with astronomy legend Sir Patrick Moore and fellow Sky At Night presenter Chris Lintott.

But the musician has certainly not been brought in simply to lend the power of being a pop star to marketing of the book. Instead he is himself a much respected astronomer who gave up PhD research into the distribution of dust in the solar system in the Seventies when Queen hit the big time.

Brian clearly sees Bang! as a project at least as important as any new album. In fact he has been banging on about it regularly at his own website.

Last week, as he explains himself, he turned down an invitation to jam with Meat Loaf at the Royal Albert Hall because he had been so busy promoting the book. Interviews had left perfectionist Brian no time to do a sound check, so he sat back and enjoyed the concert instead.

Bang! has its own well-constructed website, complete with a suitably dramatic theme tune by Brian. He has also written an introduction on the site where he stresses: "Bang! is written in English, rather than the language of mathematics, designed to be clear to anyone not previously deeply immersed in astronomy, but with an appetite for understanding."
