Book description

The Big Idea shortlisted for series design in the British Design and Production Awards

What Shape is Space? is a question with surprisingly far-reaching implications for our understanding of the very nature of reality and our place within it. The concepts involved may be sophisticated, but Giles Sparrow's effortless prose style easily renders them understandable, allowing readers to get to grips with the overarching debates at the cutting edge of cosmology today. Infographics, diagrams and astronomical visualizations illustrate and clarify the various astonishing implications of a universe of infinite space. 'A kind of choose-your-own-adventure using fonts: paragraphs are set in type of differing sizes depending on their importance' - The Bookseller 'Engaging ... there is a great deal to recommend about Sparrow's book for those wanting an approachable primer to this hugely complex question' - BBC Sky at Night 'An invaluable resource ... The explanations are clear, inspiring and memorable, and the information laid out in an easy-to-follow narrative. Definitely recommended' - SF2 Concatenation
