Contents: From the jacket:

RED GIANTS AND WHITE DWARFS is one of those great rarities in science and literature -- a lucid and fascinating discussion of the most fundamental questions regarding the origin of the world and the place of man n the cosmos.

Robert Jastrow, an internationally known astronomer and authority on life in the universe, blends a crisp style with a selection of remarkable photographs, to reveal the birth and death of stars and planets an the emergence of intelligent life. The new edition includes the latest findings on the origin and probably fate of the universe, giant black holes and quasars, the exploration of the moon and Mars, and travel to other stars. The author's observations of Darwin, Rutherford and other pioneer scientists add a compelling human element to the story.
