Summary:
Esteemed planetary geologist Erik Asphaug takes us on an exhilarating tour through the farthest reaches of time and our galaxy to find out why. Beautifully written and provocatively argued, this book is not only a mind-blowing astronomical tour but a profound inquiry into the nature of life here -- and billions of miles from home.
