Recenzii
'Ferguson succeeds in explaining … black holes at a level that will be inviting to those with little or no prior knowledge. Her writing is lucid, her analogies good. Just when you thought it was all over, black holes are back.' John Barrow, New Scientist
'Kitty Ferguson marshals her arguments well, taking a bite at a time and giving the reader the opportunity to digest before cramming in the next … Her text is carefully thought out, vivid and accurate … A sensible index and suggestions for further reading round the whole thing off nicely. I am glad I read it.' Roger O'Brien, Journal of the British Astronomical Society
'An astute blend of entertainment and enlightenment, the sort of book that might have come from George Gammow as part of his series Mr Tompkins in Wonderland. Ferguson's grip on her material is firm, her style crisp, lucid and lively.' Werner Israel, Physics World
'The reader … will be amply rewarded not only with knowledge, but also with the humor, fantasy, poetry and awe Ferguson brings to the subject.' Publishers Weekly
'… a crystal clear guide for a first trip around the black hole block.' Gilbert Taylor, Booklist
'… delightfully clear account, well illustrated and bare of jargon and equations … I recommend it.' Robert Boyd, Science and Christian Belief
