It's your universe. Grab it!
Fish in a Spacesuit is a breathtaking journey through time and space. Here is the story of all the matter in the universe and how it became you, in a single narrative which runs the gamut from quiet reflection to edge-of-your-seat fun. And you're at the helm!
Ever wonder why your head is on top of your body, instead of in front, like a tiger? Why do you look like your parents, but a little different? What is life and why does it keep changing? Why don't the planets ever bump into each other? How exactly do stars make all that light and heat? Why are there different kinds of atoms and what do they even do?
Hall has a gift for making complicated concepts accessible to his students. He writes vividly, and with quirky humor that brings the grandest ideas in existence into personal focus.
Fish in a Spacesuit takes us all on a mysterious and rowdy jaunt through the cosmic history as the reader becomes the 'Star stuff' that Carl Sagan so eloquently spoke of 40 years ago.
With Fish in a Spacesuit, Hall has published his first major work-but stay tuned folks because there's much more to come from this keen eye on the human experience. This book has been a years-long labor of love that unfolds artfully onto the page and into the reader's heart. He's even included some of his family's artwork to illustrate the patterns of time and matter that take shape through the book.
This book is meant to be something anyone could pick up, read, and enjoy; simple, yet profound and beautiful.
