Walking Zero: Discovering Cosmic Space and Time along the Prime Meridian by Chet Raymo (526.6 R267w)
The review from Science Books and Films states: "Though short, this work is an thought-provoking, highly enlightening discussion of some of the most fascinating concepts in physics, astronomy, and geology, among other subjects. Raymo's actual walk, starting from the chalk cliffs bordering southern England and proceeding northward into the English countryside, occupies little of the story, although points of interest along the way serve as references to the well-written essays contained in the book. The real strength of the volume lies in its wonderful portrayal of science's efforts to understand the vastness of cosmic space and time in such an interesting fashion."
