"""Building imaginary universes in a supercomputer has been a great success of modern astronomy. Here we have one of the world's masters of this numerical alchemy giving us both the science and the personal story behind our current understanding of how galaxies like the milky way came to exist.""--John Peacock, University of Edinburgh, Royal Society, and winner of the Shaw Prize ""Simulating the Cosmos explains beautifully and authoritatively how astrophysicists simulate the formation and evolution of galaxies in the expanding universe, and how we test our theories by comparing simulations with observations.""--Joel Primack, University of California, Santa Cruz, and recipient of the American Physical Society Lilienfeld Prize 2020"
