****The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie**

**NATIONAL BESTSELLER* • A fresh, charming, socially conscious tour of the mysteries of space-time, from the award-winning author of **The Disordered Cosmos*. In her highly acclaimed debut, distinguished cosmologist and particle physicist Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shared with her audience an abiding sense of wonder at the cosmos, while imagining a world without the entrenched injustice that plagues her field. Now, in **The Edge of Space-Time*, she embraces that cosmic wonder, taking readers on a mind-altering journey to the boundaries of the universe, inviting us to spend time at the edge of what we know about space-time and about ourselves.
