  "The Accelerating Universe is not only an informative book about modern cosmology. It is rich storytelling and, above all, a celebration of the human mind in its quest for beauty in all things." —Alan Lightman, author of Einstein's Dreams 
  "This is a wonderfully lucid account of the extraordinary discoveries that have made the last years a golden period for observational cosmology. But Mario Livio has not only given the reader one clear explanation after another of what astronomers are up to, he has used them to construct a provocative argument for the importance of aesthetics in the development of science and for the inseparability of science, art, and culture." —Lee Smolin, author of The Life of the Cosmos 
  "What a pleasure to read! An exciting, simple account of the universe revealed by modern astronomy. Beautifully written, clearly presented, informed by scientific and philosophical insights." —John Bahcall, Institute for Advanced Study 
  "A book with charm, beauty, elegance, and importance. As authoritative a journey as can be taken through modern cosmology." —Allan Sandage, Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington

  ABOUT THIS BOOK
  In this audiobook Esther Ouwehand sets out the root causes of the corona pandemic and provides solutions for preventing the rise of new pandemic threats. A highly topical debut work from the successful leader of the Dutch Party for the Animals.
  
  75% of all new infectious diseases currently threatening humanity come from the animal kingdom. This is caused by intensive factory farming and the global animal trade. The Netherlands is leading in this regard and is therefore a breeding ground for zoonotic diseases, but for years, traditional political parties have failed to take action. Esther Ouwehand explains how we can use political courage to prevent new pandemic threats from arising in the future worldwide. And with that also effectively fight the climate and biodiversity crisis.
