Very Good, Slight Wear, Spine Crease, Pencil Marginalia Up To Page 15. Generically Inscribed By Barrow. Per Wikipedia, John David Barrow Frs ( 1952 - 2020) Was An English Cosmologist, Theoretical Physicist, And Mathematician. He Served As Gresham Professor Of Geometry At Gresham College From 2008 To 2011. Barrow Was Also A Writer Of Popular Science And An Amateur Playwright. Barrow's Approach To Philosophical Issues Posed By Physical Cosmology Made His Books Accessible To General Readers. For Example, Barrow Introduced A Memorable Paradox, Which He Called "The Groucho Marx Effect" (See Russell-Like Paradoxes). Here, He Quotes Groucho Marx: "I Wouldn't Want To Belong To Any Club That Would Accept Me As A Member". Applying This To Problems In Cosmology, Barrow Stated: "A Universe Simple Enough To Be Understood Is Too Simple To Produce A Mind Capable Of Understanding It". Inscribed by Author(s).
