《宇宙：传记》，2022年版

我们宇宙的故事，从宇宙大爆炸的最初几毫秒开始，一直持续到现在和以后，由世界顶尖的天文学家之一以扣人心弦的叙述讲述。
大家都知道天文学家用望远镜观察遥远的太空。但你知道吗，它们也把它们当作时光机器，用来回顾过去？在这本引人入胜的原著中，世界著名天文学家保罗·默丁（Paul Murdin）展示了宇宙的整个历史，从这里到地球的远处，带领我们一步一步地穿越时间和空间的历史。
由于尖端的科学研究，以及新的太空探索和发现时代，我们对宇宙的了解比以往任何时候都要丰富。默丁一直站在这项研究的最前沿，他是第一个发现黑洞的人。在宇宙中，穆尔丁利用他在该领域的专业知识来解释黑洞、星云和暗物质等困难的概念，并将它们与我们宇宙历史上最重要的特征和事件联系起来：强大的爆炸、最大的行星、星系和天体。这段历史以一种清晰易懂的方式构成了我们宇宙的“传记”，从大爆炸开始，一步一步地贯穿我们宇宙的故事。
这本书充满了关于我们自身存在的迷人细节，例如，我们体内三分之二的原子是在大爆炸的最初几分钟内形成的氢原子，而我们是星系和恒星制造的副产品，这本书让我们得以一瞥宇宙的未来以及它对我们所有人的意义。
The Universe: A Biography, 2022 Edition
The story of our Universe, from its beginning in the first milliseconds of the Big Bang up to our present moment and beyond, told in a gripping narrative by one of the world’s leading astronomers.
Everyone knows astronomers use telescopes to peer into distant space. But did you know that they also use them as time machines to look back into the past? In this fascinating and original book, world-renowned astronomer Paul Murdin lays out the entire history of the Universe from here on Earth into the distance, leading us step by step through the history of time and space.
Our knowledge of the Universe is greater than ever thanks to cutting- edge scientific research, as well as a new age of space exploration and discovery, and Murdin has been at the forefront of this inquiry—he was the first person to identify a black hole. In The Universe, Murdin draws on his expertise in the field to explain difficult concepts such as black holes, nebulae, and dark matter and relates them to the most important characters and events in the history of our Universe: powerful explosions, the largest planets, galaxies, and celestial bodies. Structured in a clear, accessible fashion as a “biography” of our Universe, this history begins at the Big Bang and proceeds stage by stage through the story of our cosmos.
Full of fascinating details about our own existence, for instance that two-thirds of the atoms in our body are hydrogen atoms formed in the first few minutes of the Big Bang, and that we are a by-product of the manufacture of galaxies and stars, this volume offers a glimpse into the future of our Universe and what it means to us all.
