Mysterious Architecture of the Universe

The Cosmic Web

Jeremy Cote

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I liked that it wasn't long, and instead got to the point without going through a bunch of twists and turns that weren't necessary. The book was particularly fascinating for me as I just spent my first summer working within the field of theoretical physics and cosmology, so I found the book to be right up my alley. I also find that the author explains concepts very well *without* simplifying them. It seems like so many science books water down the technical details to the point that everything is qualitative. That's not what you get here, and so I enjoyed the book a lot. The images were spectacular as well.

One thing I didn't like: all the footnotes were at the end of the book, so I didn't read them as I came across each footnote in the text since I didn't want to flip back and forth. It would have been nice to have them within the text (at the bottom of the page).
