My paperback copy of Weinberg's "The First 3 Minutes," sitting on my brown wood-finish desk at work. The cover image consists of two halves. On the left is a false-color image of particle tracks taken from a cloud chamber. On the left is a photograph of a nebula.

   If you haven't already, I encourage you to read Weinberg's "The First Three Minutes," a beautifully written particle physics history of the Hot Big Bang. If you have, I encourage you to read it again.

   It was last updated in 1993, so in some ways it is outdated (inflation, dark energy). But it's a classic. My copy is tattered from re-reading.
