Wonders of the Cosmos “Cosmos” comes from a Greek word for an orderly and systematic universe. In this eBook, we present the most riveting discoveries about the order of our cosmic home, from what we know of the origins of the universe and the cartography of space to the most bizarre phenomena and the search for life.

Exoplanets: Worlds Without End In the two decades since the first planet outside of our solar system was discovered, “exoplanetology” has become the hottest specialty in astrophysics. To date, more than 1,000 exoplanets have been found, and this eBook explains the investigative techniques used and analyzes the strange and controversial discoveries in this exciting field.

Physics at the Limits Special Collector’s Edition Science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about the universe and our place in it. Parallel or alternative universes have been a recurrent theme in Star Trek. In Interstellar, an astronaut explores hidden extra dimensions. The Matrix and other movies have depicted ordinary life on Earth as nothing but a holographic or mental projection. But these imaginings all seem downright tame compared with the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, as explored in this Special Collector’s Edition.
