A leading astronomer takes readers behind the scenes of the thrilling science of stellar archaeology and explains how sections of the night sky are "excavated" in the hunt for extremely rare, 13-billion-year-old relic stars and how this quest reveals tantalizing new details about the origins and evolution of the cosmos.

The book attempts to present a new perspective to its readers for looking self and surrounding world. It tries to tell that we humans, all living beings and all non living things, moon, planets, stars, galaxies are made of the same matter particles. How everything is cosmically connected? How all matter, all space, all energy has been formed during the cosmic evolution? What are different ways to decipher such understanding? What are the scientific principles, laws and theories which help in explaining and understanding them? What are the tools and techniques which enable us to look, to experience and to test them? How vast is the universe and how small and insignificant we are? In short, the book provides a cosmic perspective for self realization to mankind. The Bhagavad Gita mentions one of the paths for salvation as Gyan Yoga (the path of knowledge for self realization). This book is a step forward in that direction. While giving brief account of cosmos, the book tries to soften human ego and expects its readers to keep our earthly differences aside and realize our cosmic connection.

Written for the educated non-scientist and scientist alike, it spans a variety of scientific disciplines, from observational astronomy to particle physics. Concepts that the reader will encounter along the way are at the cutting edge of scientific research. However the themes are explained in such a way that no prior understanding of science beyond a high school education is necessary.

Critical acclaim for John Gribbin "The master of popular science." —Sunday Times (London) "Gribbin explains things very well indeed, and there's not an equation in sight." —David Goodstein, The New York Times Book Review (on Almost Everyone's Guide to Science) "Gribbin breathes life into the core ideas of complexity science, and argues convincingly that the basic laws, even in biology, will ultimately turn out to be simple." —Nature magazine (on Deep Simplicity) "Gribbin takes us through the basics [of chaos theory] with his customary talent for accessibility and clarity. [His] arguments are driven not by impersonal equations but by a sense of wonder at the presence in the universe and in nature of simple, self-organizing harmonies underpinning all structures, whether they are stars or flowers." —Sunday Times (London) (on Deep Simplicity) "In the true quantum realm, Gribbin remains the premier expositor of the latest developments." —Booklist (on Schrödinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality)

'Serious efforts to understand Mormonism in a non-confrontational, non-polemical way are few and far between. In this book the author, John Bracht, has drawn together a multitude of LDS sources in order to demonstrate differences between Mormonism and 'traditional' Christian views on the nature of God and the Godhead."
