Description:
Vintage Books, 2000. Standard. Paperback. Good. Outline:- Every atom in our bodies has an extraordinary history. Our blood, our food, our books, our clothes - everything contains atoms forged in blistering furnaces deep inside stars, which were blown into space by those stars` cataclysmic explosions and deaths.
