Synopsis
A mind-expanding journey through the facts, figures, people and events that have shaped our exploration of the earth and the cosmos.
In this stunning book the world's foremost popularizer of science fact and science fiction guides us through the great human quest for knowledge of the universe: from prehistoric migrations to the space probes of today and tomorrow.
Astronomy, physics, geology, biology, geography and mathematics are all introduced as, in inimitable style, Asimov explains, teases and guides us through Einstein's theory of relativity, the expanding universe, the fate of the dinosaur, black holes, the possibilities of building a time machine and much more. His book is both marvellous reference source - packed with a breathtaking array of factual information - and an exhilarating account of our drive to plumb the secrets of our universe.
'Asimov is never dull... One expanding horizon in the world today must be that of Asimov addicts. They will enjoy this book' - The Times Literary Supplement
