Description: The most significant scientific theory of the Millennium. 9 billion years ago there was a Blue Giant star which blew up in a spectacular supernova, starting the chain of events that led to the creation of the Solar System and the Earth itself. From Blue Giant to Blue Marble tells this story in a narrative style and plain English that most book readers would understand. FBG2BM answers the the question - Where did we come from? Aren't you curious to know the greatest secret ever?
