Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution

By Neil deGrasse Tyson, Donald Goldsmith

Categories: Science & Math

Neil deGrasse Tyson and Donald Goldsmith tell the story of the universe from the big bang to the emergence of life on Earth. The authors explain the origins of the cosmos, galaxies, stars, planets and life, and describe how scientists have pieced this history together from observation and theory. They also consider the search for life elsewhere. Written as a companion to the PBS NOVA series Origins, the book was first published in 2004.
