The Inflationary Universe is a popular physics book by theoretical physicist Alan H. Guth, first published in 1997. The book explores the historical and theoretical development and expansion of the theory of inflation, which was first presented by the author in 1979 as the culmination of his research on the implications of theory of the Big Bang.[1]
The book's blurb referred to it as "the passionate story of one leading scientist's effort to look behind the cosmic veil and explain how the universe began".
