Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution

<p>&quot;Who can ask for better cosmic tour guides to the universe than Drs. Tyson and Goldsmith?&quot; -- Michio Kaku, author of Hyperspace and Parallel Worlds</p> Our true origins are not just human, or even terrestrial, but in fact cosmic. Drawing on recent scientific breakthroughs and the current cross-pollination among geology, biology, astrophysics, and cosmology, ?Origins? explains the soul-stirring leaps in our understanding of the cosmos. From the first image of a galaxy birth to Spirit Rover's exploration of Mars, to the discovery of water on one of Jupiter's moons, coauthors Neil deGrasse Tyson and Donald Goldsmith conduct a galvanizing tour of the cosmos with clarity and exuberance. 32 pages of color illustrations
