Info

Origins is intended for general readers, whom Yulsman seeks to 'infect with the same fascination with nature' that drove his research. The book is for 'anyone who's ever looked up at the night sky on a clear night and had those thoughts … where did all this come from?' He hopes his book will strike a chord with the kind of readers who bought Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time but found the material difficult. 'That includes me,'' Yulsman acknowledges. He set out to write a book that would grapple with the same subject matter but in a much more accessible manner … Yulsman's artful prose and narrative style make it easier for the curious layperson to gain an understanding of some of the most complex physical aspects of the universe's emergence and structure. He uses metaphor and analogy to make concepts approachable … He also peppers the book liberally with fascinating people: scientists at work, immersed in research, and debate. Origin's characters are not just planets, galaxies, quarks, and neutrons, but mathematicians, physicists, cosmologists, astro-chemists, theoreticians of astronomy, geologists, even metero-hunters, all engaged in an effort to unravel answers to really big questions …Through visits and interviews with scientists engaged in cutting-edge research on these most profound issues, Yulsman shares with readers the amazing things we have learned … As a journalist, he is able to tell stories and use anecdotes to bring alive what can often be a very abstract set of ideas. -Wendy Worrall Redal, Program Coordinator for the CEJ and editor of Connections
