Small Beginnings Marilyn D Corner

"Small Beginnings" is the first book in the series, "Ever Expanding Universe". It's an introduction to the Big Bang hypothesis and to the creation of space and time, of stars and galaxies, including our own Milky Way galaxy. It looks in some detail at our own Solar System comprising the Sun and planets including the "Blue Planet" Earth, the Asteroid Belt, the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. We then look at genetics and evolution, especially the evolution of mankind. There is a detailed timeline of events since the Big Bang and a quiz just to see if you have been paying attention. Crammed full of facts and figures, a very handy and up to date educational reference to have in the house for everyone, not only for Mums and Dads but also for your children and grandchildren.
