The Universe by Andrew Cohen
4.0
Lovely, simple, funny and full of wonder. Very relaxing and friendly to the layman, and the reader has a soothing, pleasant voice. Not to talk about the fact that you get to hear The Brian Cox himself with his silky voice reading his own introduction. I am a sucker for documentary narrators with posh received British accents, and this book is an Albionfeast.
The focus is on the various telescopes up but not including the JWST, and on the discoveries they afforded for, but there is also much history, and overlooked scientists who made important discoveries. A small lovely treat available at the library :)
