Our Place In The Universe - Glendenning, Norman K (Lawrence Berkeley Nat'l Lab, Usa)

Tells the story of our world, formation of the first galaxies and stars formed from great clouds containing the primordial elements made in the first few minutes; birth of stars, their lives and deaths in fiery supernova explosions; formation of the solar system, its planets and many moons; and life on Earth; and exoplanets.
