Jacob Berkowitz Livres

Left by animals long ago, some durable doo-doo has survived the long journey through the ages. It started out stinky, but now it's frozen, dried or turned to rock. This irresistible book looks at how it's helping scientists to piece together the puzzle of ancient life.

This book describes how we're in the midst of a third great scientific revolution, five centuries in the making: the Stardust Revolution. It is the merging of the once-disparate realms of astronomy and evolutionary biology, and of the Copernican and Darwinian Revolutions, placing life in a cosmic context.
