Enjoyable and mostly non-technical account of Nobel prize winner Smoot & his various teams' attempts to unravel some of the mysteries of the Big Bang. Scientific discovery is popularly conceived of as consisting of epiphanic Eureka moments, but Smoot's book shows how some of the most significant advances are made through decades of painstaking, repetitive work and innovation.
