Origins: How the Planets, Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe Began Steve Eales

This book looks at answers to the biggest questions in astronomy - the questions of how the planets, stars, galaxies and the universe were formed. Over the last decade, a revolution in observational astronomy has produced possible answers to three of these questions. This book describes this revolution. The one question for which we still do not have an answer is the question of the origin of the universe. In the final chapter, the author looks at the connection between science and philosophy and shows how new scientific results have laid the groundwork for the first serious scientific studies of the origin of the universe.

Origins Avis

From the reviews:

I'm happy to say that I don't think author Stephen Eales has to worry about [falling short of achieving his goal]... . His ambitiously titled book is a sound and readable addition to the astronomy shelf. ... It's a fine reference, well indexed, and, in less than 300 pages, contains the history of the universe. For only one volume, it's a great value. (Jeff Kanipe, Sky & Telescope, August, 2007)

Eales, an astronomer at Cardiff University in Wales, has written a survey of astronomical origins, starting with our solar system and moving ever outward to the origin of the universe. ... The book is well researched and has an affiliated Web site to help readers keep up with the rapid change in knowledge about our origins. ... A work for general readers, it could also be a good course resource for a general education astronomy class. ... Summing Up: Recommended. General readers; lower-division undergraduates. (R. A. Kolvoord, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (11), July, 2007)

Origins, follows naturally ... discussing how things came about how we found out about them, covering the origins of planets, stars, galaxies and the Universe itself. ... Almost every aspect of astronomy is included in considerable detail and as with the previous volume there are many useful diagrams, some colour photos and amazingly low price for a quality product. ... In addition the author provides his own version of the life of a professional astronomer and its well worth reading. (Bill Barlow, Astronomy Now, June, 2007)

Origins is a great book-it's concise, timely, and instructive. ... Origins describes the discovery of new planetary systems in the vicinity of our Sun, and the techniques that lead to a better understanding of their formation and evolution. It makes the reader familiar with new types of telescopes and observations. ... The text is kept at a fundamental and basically non-mathematical level that clearly conveys all the physical concepts ... of today's front-line astronomy research. ... I warmly recommend this book. (Thomas Puzia, The Observatory, Vol. 127, December, 2007)
