		Janna Levin takes us on an intriguing odyssey to the outer reaches of physics in search of answers, boldly going where even Einstein was afraid to go.

		But as she rightly says, "the beauty is in the trying and hoping and striving".

		Janna Levin has a knack of making people forget the world's troubles.
		Dr Levin, author of How the Universe Got its Spots, said that just as people once assumed the world was flat and explorers would fall off the edge, "the assumption that space must be infinite may be just as biased".

		In startling and beautiful prose, Janna Levin's diary of unsent letters to her mother describes what we know about the shape and extent of the universe, about its beginning and its end.
		Levin advances the controversial idea that this map is edgeless but finite--that the universe is huge but not unending--a radical revelation that would provide the ultimate twist to the Copernican revolution by locating our precise position in the cosmos.
		Janna Levin, one of the bright young stars on the interface between topology (the study of shapes) and cosmology, describes her efforts to look for the signatures of a finite universe and offers the reader a unique insight into her life and inner thoughts."--David Spergel, Princeton University
