On the wish list. Some years back I read a few books on the first moments of the universe, e.g.:
amazon.com

The first 10^-43 to 10^-35 seconds is an almost unimaginably small interval, but an amazing process happened then. Likewise the remaining 10^150+ years is a hard concept for the brain to grasp. Human beings (those who think of such things at all) usually think of a billion or trillion as something somewhat larger than a million, which is in turn somwhat more than a thousand. The book I mentioned is best at training one to think of the really big numbers.
