Includes bibliographical references (p. [191]-208) and index. Rocking our world -- Blasts from the past -- Lucky stars -- About time -- In the air -- Connecting the dots -- Kings of the hill -- Fevers and chills -- Cold facts -- Mothers of invention. Shubin shows how the entirety of the universe's fourteen-billion-year history can be seen in our bodies as he moves from our very molecular composition (a result of stellar events at the origin of our solar system) through the workings of our eyes. |
