(Book)

Reprint. Originally published: New York : Random House, 1979.

"A fascinating book on the joys of discovering how the world works"--Page 4 of cover.

"As long as there have been human beings, we have posed the deep and fundamental questions, which evoke wonder and stir us into at least a tentative and trembling awareness, questions on the origins of consciousness; life on our planet; the beginning of the Earth; the formation of the Sun; the possibility of intelligent beings somewhere up there in the depths of the sky; as well as, the grandest inquiry of all--on the advent, nature, and ultimate destiny of the universe ... we are on the verge of glimpsing at least preliminary answers to many of these questions ... This book, then, is about the exploration of the universe and ourselves; that is, it is about science"--Page xi-xii.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 369-372) and index.
