BANG is an eyewitness account of the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to now. It is unique because it is told as a chronological story - by Yog, a quark – who was there from the start. Quarks are the oldest existing particles. They know all - since EVERYTHING is made of quarks and electrons. Being now part of a human, Yog knows their peculiarities too. Yog identifies the key event that distinguished man from beast and the major problem of the planet at present - OVERPOPULATION. It finds that earthlings have overtaken biological evolution by technological development and predicts that evolution does not end with today’s Homo sapiens but continues towards a more rational being which he calls Homo prudens.
BANG is written in plain language for average persons, from teenagers to pensioners. The text is enlivened by a series of cartoon-like sketches. There are no formulae or diagrams to avoid the appearance of a science book.

"Bang!"
What an original, insghtful and amusing way to approach the subject of life, the universe and everything. This is a really entertaining read and, without the reader fully realizing it, extremely edifying. Wonderfully well researched and presented.

"Bang!"
Poised nicely between the worlds of hard science and human searching for understanding of the universe, this brilliant work by Siegfried Eckleben is a revealing and well worthwhile read. The author has clearly done intensive research into his subject and summarises the most complex of concepts in an easy to follow, informative and interesting manner. The ingenious use of the tiny quark as a timeless and ever changing entity allows Mr. Eckleben to make time irrelevant and ensure continuity of event throughout the eons covered by this excellent text.
Get it and read it. It's great

"Bang!"
The Big Bang theory on the origin and development of the universe has been generally accepted and the facts compiled by numerous authors over many years. What makes this work unique is the technique of relating the story from the perspective of a quark - the smallest particle existing. The occasional cynical remarks by the author on specific issues provide a personal touch to the narrative. It is clear that the subject has been thoroughly researched and the use of plain language makes for easy reading.
A highly recommended work for the novice as well as more informed reader.
