Most well-read, but non-scientific, people will have heard of the term
'Big Bang' as a description of the origin of the Universe. They will
recognize that DNA identifies individuals and will know that the origin
of life is one of the great unsolved scientific mysteries. This book
brings together all of that material. Starting with the creation of
space and time - known as the Big Bang - the book traces causally
related steps through the formation of matter, of stars and planets, the
Earth itself, the evolution of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, and
then through to the beginnings of life and the evolution of man. The
material is presented in such a way that an intelligent non-scientist
can comprehend it, without using formulae or equations but still
preserving the integrity of the involved science.This book does not
solve the mysteries of what initiated the Big Bang or how life evolved
from inanimate matter, but it does make clear the nature of those
problems. The reader will be left with a sense of wonderment that he or
she actually exists!
