Reviews for Always Beginning: The Big Bang, the Universe and You

"""With alliterative poetic sentiments that curve across the pages, Savage offers a brief history of the universe that emphasizes interconnection. ... Dreamy artwork has the feel of black velvet paintings from the 1970s and seems to glow ... [A] connecting end note moves with the conclusion."" --Publishers Weekly, STARRED review"
