OTHER WOULDS
Outstanding imagery, stunningly presented. Perceptive text from award-winning science writer James Trefil. A foreword by David H. Levy, discoverer of 21 comets. Put them all together and you get Other Worlds: Images of the Cosmos from Earth and Space.
Bonnie Gordon, editor oi Astronomy magazine, calls this "a gorgeously produced book about our solar system, the larger universe, and our place in both Few writers give you as much insight as Trefil. Few will make you feel you understand the story of planetary evolution or how scientists discovered the distances to neighboring stars."
Paul H. Knappenberger, president of Chicago's Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum, agrees, calling Trefil "a superb guide" with "a splendid overview of astronomy."

Other Worlds, says Knappenberger, "is a masterfiil balance of beautifiil, full-color photographs and clearly written, insightful information about
the cosmos____Jim Trefil takes the reader
on a mind-expanding adventure that begins with our own star, the sun, then moves outward through the planets and moons of our solar system. He leads us past the stars and gas clouds of our Milky Way galaxy and beyond to the myriad other distant galaxies that populate the expanding universe. Along the way we encounter such exotic objects as black holes and quasars, and witness galactic cannibalism.
"Trefil explains in a clear and easily readable manner our evolving understanding of the complex nature of the cosmos, and how scientists have gone about exploring the universe Everyone who is curious about space and our place within the grand scheme of things will want to have this book."

Informative, elegant, and lavishly illustrated, Otber Worlds features the most visually stunning images from the Hubble Space Telescope and other space missions, as vs^eU as from land-based observatories. James Trefil s enthralling and insightful text captures the enduring lure of the night sky as he explores how the sun and planets came to be—and what they \vi\i become. Then on to galaxies, the Big Bang, and other mysteries of the cosmos: Star birth and star death, asteroids and comets, supernovae, black holes, quasars, pulsars, white dwarfs, and much, much more. Fully indexed, with a first-rate glossary.
