<p>A journey guided by science that explores the universe, the earth, and the story of life\nFor 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.\nShapiro, 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.\nWith 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.</p>

Julian Messner

Once upon a time there was a writer of stories.  His name was Rambling Richard, and he wandered all over the world.  He carried with him an ink pot and a bundle of paper. In his hat was stuck a goose quill pen.Every morning he sat down and wrote a story.  He dipped his goose quill pen in the ink pot, and began: "Once upon a time..."He exchanged his stories for bread and cheese and a place to sleep.  Sometimes - but not very often - he bought a new hat or a purple cloak with extra-large pockets.
