How the Universe Got its Spots

This is an unusual book - science presented as a series of letters to the author's mother. The style is informal, with key concepts from physics and cosmology presented alongside a personal narrative. The overall theme is the emerging notion that the universe may be finite while giving the illusion of infinity. This is certainly an engaging and user-friendly way of understanding key ideas that also gives the reader an insight into what it is like to be a young scientist working in this exciting field.
