How It Ends: From You to the Universe

â€œRemarkably upbeat, and imbued with wit, wisdom and a palpable sense of awe over our universe.â€â€•Tucson Weekly
Most of us are aware of our own mortality, but few among us know what science, with insights yielded from groundbreaking new research, has to say about endings on a larger scale. Enter astronomer Chris Impey, who chronicles the death of the whole shebang: individual, species, bio- sphere, Earth, Sun, Milky Way, and, finally, the entire universe.

With a healthy dose of humor, How It Ends illuminates everything from the technologies of human life extension and the evolutionary arms race between microbes and men to the inescapable dimming of the Sun and the ultimate â€œbig rip,â€ giving us a rare glimpse into a universe without us. 68 black-and-white illustrations
