An epic tour through cosmic scale by the award winning astrobiologist drawing on cutting-edge science. Together with acclaimed artist Ron Miller, they begin at the limits of the observable universe, a scale spanning 10 to 27 meters, about 93 billion light-years. They end in the subatomic realm, at 10 to 35 meters, where the fabric of space-time itself confounds all known rules of physics. In between there are galaxies, stars and planets, oceans and continents, plants and animals, microorganisms, atoms, black holes, alien lifeforms, walking a rocky globe where maybe a human will take us to the next level of insight. There is a diagram of brains of the world built out of neurons, of individual cells, a meteorological plane venturing across the eyewall of the hurricane, time machine depictions, three different interpretations of quantum mechanics, Pluto's sky with its moon Charon, and the Sun a dim star more than 4.4 billion km away. The over 100 original illustrations are utterly captivating and the infographics will captivate explorers of every age. Packed with bleeding-edge facts, vivid prose and sumptuous illustrations in a huge dose of dazzle from the fringes of the visible universe to the heart of the atom. 21 x 24.4cm, 224pp, colour.
