A hopeful title by two of best popular science writers in the field.Published recently by ReAnimus Press with the banner reading "breathing life into great books" it actually is a book published in 1988 without any updates (and no index).I do not doubt that it was a great book at the time but a lot of new facts have become available since, which makes the book severely outdated in certain respects as is illustrated by frequent reference to the Hubble Space Mission still to come at that time. Nevertheless it still is a good introduction to anthropic cosmology. Also the it is an excellent introduction to the mystery of what dark matter might be. The book is certainly not outdated on this point as nearly 30 years later this still is a mystery ( )
