Stardust

"Every one of us is made of stardust ... Everything we see, touch, breathe and smell, nearly every molecule in our bodies, is the by-product of stars as they live and die in spectacular explosions, scattering material across the universe which is recycled to become part of us. It is only by understanding how stars are made and how they die we can ever understand how we came into being ... shows us the scientific breakthroughs in the quest for our origins"--Cover.
