Book 98 - John Gribbin "13.8"
John Gribbin "13.8" (Icon Books)
This is a lovely book for anyone interested in modern cosmology. It is not really watered down, but at the same time concepts and jargon are well enough explained that even readers with no physics background can probably follow along. This book also does a good job of covering the basics of the history of the science of cosmology, a very brief introduction of course, but sufficient to provide some detail of many of the key people involved in working out the age of the Universe, including several of the women involved in the early days of this research
