Do a little armchair space travel, rub elbows with alien life
forms, and stretch your mind to the furthest corners of our
uncharted universe. With this astonishing guidebook, you don't have
to be an astronomer to explore the mysteries of stars and their
profound meaning for human existence. Clifford A. Pickover tackles
a range of topics from stellar evolution to the fundamental reasons
why the universe permits life to flourish. He alternates sections
that explain the mysteries of the cosmos with sections that
dramatize mind-expanding concepts through a fictional dialog
between futuristic humans and their alien peers (who embark on a
journey beyond the reader's wildest imagination). This highly
accessible and entertaining approach turns an intimidating subject
into a scientific game open to all dreamers. Told in Pickover's
inimitable blend of fascinating state-of-the-art science and
whimsical science fiction, and packed with numerous diagrams and
illustrations, The Stars of Heaven unfolds a world of paradox and
mystery, one that will intrigue anyone who has ever pondered the
night sky with wonder.
