Description
Cloth hardcover, unclipped dust jacket.
 
Of Stars And Men: Human Response To An Expanding Universe.
 
An exposition of human evolution, from the tiniest micro- organisms of the sea to our first tentative steps on land to our present place in time, space, matter and energy.
 
A quote for the first page:
The purpose of this small volume is to present some information and ideas, new and old, bearing on the position of mankind in the universe of physics and sensation. It is an essay on orientation, including a tentative obituary, one might say, of anthropocentrism in our description of the universe.
