Editorial Reviews for The Cosmic Machine
“… it's very useful to have a unified overview of what we know, collected and recounted in one place. The Cosmic Machine will introduce you to the basic principles by which today's physicists organize the world." –Sean Carroll, author of The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself
“A superb resource for science fans or those struggling to understand the subject; an impressive fit in an age of Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson web videos.” –Kirkus Reviews
“Injecting the 'popular' back into science is no light task and involves a balance between keeping the science accessible to lay readers, making it interesting enough to engage non-scientists, and being certain it's accurate enough to be authoritative. Of all these tasks, the 'lively' portion is the biggest challenge, and where competing books often fall short. The Cosmic Machine succeeds on all accounts.” –Midwest Book Review
“… kudos to Bembenek for taking an entirely mathematical concept and making it readable,
comprehensible and interesting ….” –Lyle Sadavoy, Chem 13 News
“I wanted to start by saying that I really enjoyed this book. … at all times [the] writing was clear, well paced and easy to follow …. I started to discover that I was taking something unexpected from the book. I stopped focusing on the individual steps and, instead, started to see a ‘story’ behind the story. I found this enlightening.” –Gary Smailes, Founder and Editor at BubbleCow
"The Cosmic Machine is a wonderful way to introduce an intellectually curious person to how physics and chemistry have evolved and how they contribute to our understanding of the Universe." –Jim Stein, New Books Network
"The Cosmic Machine ... makes for a powerful read." –Don Lehn, Fraser Valley News
