'Universe' is the greatest story ever told. It reveals the saga of the birth, life and death of our Universe - a tale of such epic proportions and complexity that only now, a million years after the dawn of humankind, are we in a position to tell it.
Throughout history people have sought to unravel the mysteries of the Universe. Why did it begin? What was the origin of life? How will it end? Where can we find other lifeforms?
In this ground-breaking book, internationally acclaimed authors Heather Couper and Nigel Henbest address these questions and help us understand the hard evidence that has replaced the superstition and religious dogma of history.
Not only do astronomers now know how our Universe began, they have also plotted the destiny of the Cosmos - including Earth's inevitable death in five billion years' time.
'Universe' is illustrated throughout with stunning images, including the latest photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope and other space probes. It accompanies the series 'Universe', created by Pioneer Productions for Channel 4 in the UK and The Learning Channel in the USA.
