Engledew, an accomplished author of popular science books, describes nothing less than stellar astronomy, the structure of the solar system, the nature of time and space in terms of cosmology, the expanding universe and some possible fates of the cosmos ; all in a brief, succinct and accurate way. Scientific wonders and the spectacular nature of the universe are explored in terms of "exotic beasts" like black holes and neutron stars.
About the Author
John Engledew has published articles in the "Journal of the British Astronomical Society" and the "Seattle Astronomical Society Magazine," and he has published two books with Algora. A Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, he has been researching these topics for over 30 years. His credo is that the whole challenge of popular science is to expound advanced and complex ideas in comprehensible terms. Events and discoveries in space science are regularly featured in the media. In his books, he hopes to convey a better understanding and significance for the advance of space science.

The author shows how we arrived at the standard model of the Big Bang, and complex concepts such as biogenesis, the forces of nature and the extremes of physics are comprehensively described. Along the way, he entertainingly explains speculations for the rise of life on Earth, and the fate of our planet and greater cosmos.
Black hole studies, relativity and some recent discoveries are also addressed. The origin and progress of life on Earth and the possibilities of other life in the universe are considered from a strictly scientific perspective.
Readers interested in the present state of knowledge in cosmology and evolutionary biology will find the book an enjoyable stimulus to thought.
