Atom

Now in paperback: the book in which the author of the national bestseller The Physics of Star Trek traces the history of the cosmos by telling the story of a single oxygen atomfrom the beginning of time to the present moment and deep into the future. Writing with grace and wit, Lawrence Krauss explicates cutting-edge science as he takes us on a thrilling, millennia-spanning journey that tells the truth of matterwhat it is, where it came from, and where its going. A book that readers of The Elegant Universe will read with fascination and pleasure. As he did in The Physics of Star Trek, Krauss once again makes reading about physics fun for scientists and nonscientists alike. Krauss has hosted documentaries for The Learning Channel, Paramount, Nova, the BBC, and Discovery, and a multi-part documentary series on Atom is planned for PBS. Krauss is a contributor to The New York Times, Natural History, and Discover.
