19892312514New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1989. 4th Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 4th printing. Lightly rubbed. 1989 Trade Paperback. xx 976 pp. "Instead of the dying Old Regime Schama presents an ebullient country vital and inventive infatuated with novelty and technology--a strikingly fresh view of Louis XVI's France." "This well-written thoroughly documented book should be on every high-school library shelf. It explains the self-destructive bloody orgy that occurred in France but not in England or Prussia countries in similar states of poverty and with similarly deprived disenfranchised populaces. Schama theorizes that the cause of France's revolution lies in the self-deception of the ruling intelligentsia who believed that they could make a Utopian France by allowing controlled violence murder and the destruction of property in the name of liberty and all to exist simultaneously with good government. Schama presents Talleyrand Lafayette and others with more understanding than they are given in most histories setting them amidst a web of violence of their own making. This book speaks to today's world as nations strive to move from despotism to democracy." -- School Library Journal.

"We've all heard of the Big Bang and yet few of us truly know what it is. Renowned for making difficult ideas much less difficult than they might first appear Simon Singh is our perfect guide to explaining why cosmologists believe that the Big Bang is an accurate description of the origin and evolution of the universe. This highly readable and entertaining book tells the story of the many brilliant often eccentric scientists who fought against the establishment idea of an eternal and unchanging cosmos. From such early Greek cosmologists as Anaximander to recent satellite measurements taken deep in space Big Bang is a narrative full of anecdotes and personal histories. With characteristic clarity Simon Singh tells the centuries-long story of mankind's attempt to understand how the universe came to be a story which itself begins some 14 billion years ago give or take a billion years. Simon Singh shows us that it is within the capability of all of us -- in his expert hands -- to understand the Big Bang: the fundamental theory in all of science and a high point -- perhaps the high point -- of human achievement.
