Description

This is a definitive, readable and visually stunning book about the solar system. Written by the legendary science writing team of John and Mary Gribbin, it offers a new appreciation of our place in the cosmos. From Here to Infinity sets a standard for other astronomy books, not only in the clarity of its writing but also in its richly illustrated presentation. From straightforward facts such as "How far away are stars?" and "What did Galileo see through his telescope?" to broader questions such as "Is there an edge to the universe?" and "How did the universe begin?", this exciting new book will appeal to all levels of interest.
