Our Cosmic Habitat

Our universe seems strangely hospitable to life. Is this happenstance, providence, or coincidence? According to cosmologist Martin Rees, the answer depends on the answer to another question, the one posed by Einstein’s famous remark: “What interests me most is whether God could have made the world differently.” This highly engaging book explores the fascinating consequences of the answer being “yes.” Now with a new preface by the author, Our Cosmic Habitat can be read and enjoyed by all those—scientist and nonscientists alike—who are fascinated by the universe we inhabit.
