Are we alone in the Universe? What is our place in it? How did

we get here? We have long searched for the answers to questions

such as these, and scientists are beginning to find some of the

answers. In this beautifully illustrated book, Daniel Altschuler

provides the reader with the elements to understand the questions

and their answers as far as we know them. He explores subjects from

physics and astronomy, to geology and palaeontology. Along the way

he touches on topics such as the search for life on other worlds

and the hazards of asteroid impacts. Daniel Altschuler is director

of the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. He writes in an engaging

and readable style with wit, warmth and erudition at a level that

any interested reader can understand.
