Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution. "Distill[s] complex science in clear and lively prose." 'Scientific American Book Club. ORIGINS EXPLORES cosmic science's stunning new insights into the formation and evolution of our universe'of the cosmos, of galaxies and galaxy clusters, of stars within galaxies, of orbiting planets, and of different forms of life. Drawing on the current crosspollination of geology, biology, and astrophysics, Origins makes "the astonishing astronomical discoveries of recent years come alive" (Michael D. Lemonick). "The most informative, congenial and accessible general look at cosmology to come along since Carl Salaan's Cosmos 27 years ago," says Publishers Weekly. "The tone is informational, aimed at high clarity, and laced with giddy humor . . . general readers of every stripe will benefit from the authors' sophisticated, deeply knowledgeable presentation. If the casual book buyer purchases one science book this year, this should be the one."
"Tyson and Goldsmith search the depths of the universe for clues to how billions of heavenly bodies, Earth, and life itself began. They energetically cover the breadth of modern cosmology." -- Science News "Distilling complex science in clear and lively prose, ?Origins? turns the spotlight on cosmic beginnings and shows how we got where we are today." -- Scientific American Book Club "Animated, good-natured and widely appealing." -- Richard Tihany - Eyepiece
