The Natural History of the Universe

Más información sobre el libro

Space - the final frontier - is the last and most mysterious realm to challenge the human spirit. Our imaginations follow the space probes reaching ever farther into the depths of the cosmos. Our minds boggle at the revolutionary concepts scientists conceive to accommodate new information and to rewrite the laws that govern our universe. <i>The Natural History of the Universe</i> explains in everyday language the story of the universe - its birth, its life and its possible future - and uses brilliantly sophisticated new graphics and the very latest in space imagery to address in a fresh, exciting way the questions everybody wants answered. In doing so it provides extensive coverage of astronomical topics - planets and moons, galaxies and stars - but, more than this, it sheds new light on pulsars and quasars, on brown stars and black holes, on worlds long past and those yet to come.
