    About this ebook

    In this brilliantly simple book, a noted science writer shows the interconnectedness of life on Earth to space—and thus, why space matters to all of us.

    Covering topics like stardust, animal navigation, weather, seasons, tides, and more, Colin Stuart shows the interconnectedness of life on Earth and space.

    Complete with a quiz, further reading, glossary, and index filled with surprising facts—such as the fact that humans are made of stardust!—this book presents information in an engaging, personable way. Perfect for Common Core classroom connections!
