Have you ever found yourself wondering what we might have in common with stars, or why the moon never leaves us? Thinking about the precise movements of planets, the passing of time, or how life began on earth? Our world is full of mystery, posits the author of Lost in Translation, and although we live in a civilization more complicated than ever, there is simplicity and reassurance to be found in knowing how and why. In this whimsically illustrated book, Ella Frances Sanders offers a look at the universe that is informal yet scientific, poetic and precise.
