Back Bay takes pleasure in restoring to print the first book by the author of Einstein in Love. Everywhere hailed as a paragon of science journalism, Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos is the dramatic, heartbreaking, and often comical story of cosmology and the men and women devoted to discovering the secrets of the universe. Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award in Nonfiction and a Los Angeles Times Book Award in Science.
