Don't Know Much About the Universe

The mysteries of outer space have intrigued people for millennia. Yet most of us look up at the night sky and feel totally in the dark when it comes to the basic facts about the universe. Best-selling author Kenneth Davis steps into that void with a lively and readable guide to the discoveries, theories, and people who have shed light on the wonders of the cosmos.

With the fun question-and-answer format that has appealed to the millions of readers of his best-selling Don’t Know Much About® series, Davis reveals why Einstein was such a genius, the amazing secrets of Stonehenge, and even how one great astronomer lost his nose. Don’t Know Much About® the Universe is entertaining way to explore the “Final Frontier” without ever leaving home.

Kenneth C. Davis speaks often on national television and radio. His USA Weekend column is seen weekly by millions of readers. In addition to his adult titles, he writes the Don’t Know Much About® Kids series published by HarperCollins. He lives in New York City with his wife and two children.
