A journey guided by science that explores the universe, the earth,
and the story of life  For Irwin Shapiro, science starts
with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey
of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of
nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. Â Shapiro, an
award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry
into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the
earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His
framework encourages readers to view science as a detective
story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and
to base all conclusions on scientific evidence. Â With his
knowledgeable yet conversational approach, Shapiro offers an
enjoyable way for the curious to learn about the foundations of a
range of scientific topics: the motions of bodies in the cosmos,
the history and structure of the earth, the evolution of organisms,
and the search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence.
