WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSE An Astrophysical Tour

Michael Murray's narration is such that he could be a first-rate college lecturer. In terms of delivery, he ranks right up there with the venerable authors of this fine astrophysics survey. In fact, the print version of this book would make a great text for an introductory college course. As an audiobook, however, much is lost without continuous access to the 100-page PDF that is included, to say nothing of the problem of the extensive talking in math formulas. This reviewer found the production a great selling piece for the print edition. The narration is wonderful, as far as it goes. Murray delivers the manifold beauties and wonders of our universe in ways that only great science communicators like the authors can achieve.
