Our Cosmic Origins tells the story of our remarkable adventure
來源:香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk on this planet, beginning with a single event in the depths of
space. It traces the rich and wonderful history of the Universe,
from the Big Bang to the creation of atoms and molecules, from the
formation of stars and planets to the emergence of life on Earth.
Delsemme brings together cosmology, astronomy, geology,
biochemistry, and biology to create a unique look at the complex
story of the Universe. He chronicles how the first light atoms were
made and formed stars and how heavier atoms were cooked in stars
and scattered in space, creating dust mrains and organic molecules.
He examines the growing eomplexity of plant and animal life,
including the emergence and extinction of dinosaurs. Our Cosmic
Origins shows how the coupling of eye and brain led to
self-awareness and intelligence. It explores the cosmic
coincidences that might explain our existence and concludes with
the tantalizing suggestion that intelligent alien life is likely.
This provocative book will appeal to anyone who has ever looked at
the sky and wondered how we got here. Originally published in
French, this edition has been revised to include the most recent
research in astronomy and cosmology. Armand Delsemme has published
four books and over 230 scientific papers. He received a Sigma Xi
award for outstanding research and has had, by order of the
International Astronomical Union, an asteroid named after him.
