The Stardust Revolution: The New Story of Our Origin in the Stars
September 2012
by Jacob Berkowitz (Author)
This book is a revolution of scientific understanding but even more-so it is a journey of us; a journey which follows our stupendous genealogy and ecological relationship with the cosmos. This genealogy is not of the conventional kind, that of genetic information which connects all known life of all epochs together on an almost personal level. The type of genealogy the author uses is one which is much more fundamental and arguably more personal. This is a genealogy of our most foundational constituents, it is the very bonds of our nature which connects us with almost every facet of the cosmos. This node of connectivity between us and the cosmos is of course the atom. Anyone with a modicum of knowledge knows of the periodic table, and that its table consists of what make you, I and 4% of the observable universe. Seldom do people know how they came to be or even know that they were not always around in the abundance as they are today. In the words of Neil degrass Tyson " we can hardly comprehend the essence of anything without knowing where it came from".
