paperback. Condizione: Acceptable. Vintage Pelican First Edition. #A22. An Outline of the Universe in the Pelican edition is J.G. Crowtherâs expansive, lucid attempt to map the major scientific ideas that describe the physical world, written for readers without specialist training. Crowther ranges across astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology, explaining how matter is structured, how energy behaves, how stars and planets form, and how life emerges and evolves.
