Space at the speed of light

Space at the speed of light: The history of 14 billion years for people short on time / Becky Smethurst, read by the author, 144 pgs.

When I started this book I was amazed that it was being narrated by a 12 year old girl!  Recovering from my ageist view, it is  actually narrated by the author - a British astrophysicist at Oxford.  She is fantastic and so in love with her topic, I couldn't stop listening.  Unfortunately the text is so very technical, I can't imagine it would be too popular.  So much above my head but also she does a good job in interspersing relatable stories along with the high tech astrophysics. Perfect for the science or astronomy interested.
