Krauss's book is the triumph of physics against the metaphysical. It is the glory of knowledge and reason. It is the downfall of obscurantism and myth. It is a profound yet simple work.

With a vivid style, it explains, surprises, and leaves us with a clear sense of elusive existential satisfaction. It is a groundbreaking "injection" of revival into an ancient philosophical and theological reflection. "A Universe from Nothing" provokes by introducing new elements into the debate about the existence of God and any factor of creation.

"Forget Jesus...", Krauss declares, "... the stars died so that you could be born." Even the last ace up the sleeve of theologians - the question "why nothing and not something?" - shrinks before our eyes as we read these pages.

If "On the Origin of Species" was the deadliest blow biology dealt to the supernatural, we can view "A Universe from Nothing" as its equivalent in cosmology. The title means exactly what it says. And what it says is breathtaking. (Richard Dawkins)

A legendary account of modern cosmology. As it is brilliantly shown, everything in the Universe has to do with nothing - and nothing has to do with God. God is unnecessary - or, at best, redundant.
