THE SMALLEST UNIVERSE IN THE WORLD by Stuart Hoar
THE SMALLEST UNIVERSE IN THE WORLD is a moving and fascinating
story about the clash between love and ambition. It's based on the
life of groundbreaking astronomer, Beatrice Tinsley.
Astrophysicist, wife, mother, daughter and gifted musician,
Beatrice was a brilliantly creative and passionate woman whose work
has profoundly influenced our understanding of the universe. But in
the male dominated science establishment of the 70's, Beatrice
struggles against prejudice and views of her place in the world.
She proves to be right - but success comes at great personal
cost
