Description

In this first of a trilogy, the Universe tells its own life story of chaos and creativity, science and struggle. Time after time the Universe nearly perishes then bravely triumphs and turns itself in to new and even more spectacular forms. Eventually it turns stardust in to you. This story begins in the very beginning and ends with the formation of the earth. Recent discoveries about the beginning and evolution of the universe are grippingly told in a pioneering way in a new illustrated book for children. In BORN WITH A BANG the Universe tells the tumultuous 13-billion year story in a way that both children and adults feel their intimate participation in the story. Although astrophysics and evolutionary biology are undergoing a dramatic renaissance of discovery, many of these discoveries are not included in science textbooks. BORN WITH A BANG makes these astounding discoveries accessible to teachers, parents and children. Ages 7-adult "When returning from the Moon, I experienced directly and emotionally the personal connection to the Universe described by Jennifer Morgan." Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut, author Book 1: Born With a Bang Book 2: From Lava to Life Book 3: Mammals Who Morph

Author Biography:

Dana Lynne Andersen, M.A., is a multi media artist, writer and teacher with degrees in philosophy and consciousness studies. Her fine art seeks to reveal Being in the midst of Becoming, and to express the intelligence that swirls in energy and congeals into matter. She believes that as our "depth perception" expands outwardly (billions of galaxies have been discovered in our lifetime!) it is crucial to also expand inwardly. She is the founder of Awakening Arts Institute, nurturing a global network of artists through retreats, traveling workshops, exhibitions, and a small fine arts press. Workshop information and prints of the artwork in this book are available from awakeningarts.com Jennifer Morgan's work as a storyteller, author, educator and environmental advocate flows out of her love of the natural world and cosmology. She holds a degree in theology from the University of San Francisco. To learn science, she took courses at Princeton University and worked with cosmologists, biologists, and anthropologists. Her storytelling evolved from bedtime stories for her son who wanted to know more and more, even the texture of the edge of the Universe. She believes that our cosmology stories fundamentally shape us—our relationships, our work, our play, our culture, our institutions, our everything. Information about her programs and other books is available at www.UniverseStories.com
