Cosmic Adventure - A Renegade Astronomer's Guide To Our World And Beyond

Ask your students what happened before the Big Bang, or how we would colonize Mars, or what an alien invasion might really be like? Astronomer Bob Berman has the answers. In Cosmic Adventure, a collection of twenty-six essays, he takes students on a mind-bending tour of the universe, including our own planet Earth. From the most extraordinary cosmic phenomena to the basics of the natural world, Berman challenges students to look at the facts, discoveries, concepts, and awesome wonders of our cosmos in a new light. Written in entertaining, jargon-free language that even a novice stargazer will understand, Cosmic Adventure answers such questions as: - Why was the early Hubble goof avoidable? - What's the only original idea in recent science? - Why does time probably not exist at all?
