StarMatter offers concepts and ideas for developing an awareness
and appreciation of where we came from and where we are going.
It discusses some of the big questions that historically have
occupied our minds as a species, yet is broader in scale and sweep
than just science.
The approach adopted is non-human centered with explanation
of such fascinating concepts and systems as Deep Time, the
planets, stars and the origin of matter that even we humans are
composed of. These concepts are portrayed through the arts thus
encouraging scientific discipline and the arts to be viewed as
allies, not adversaries. The work is aimed at anyone interested in
understanding ourselves, our world, its history, and our place
in the universe.
StarMatter contains fascinating facts and ideas, with pointers and
suggestions for those wishing to apply these concepts to educating
young people. It may also provide inspiration to explore and
learn more about the events and wonders it examines.
