Noted astronomer Chris Impey takes us to the frontiers of cosmology, medical technology, and ecology in this scientific look at endings. How It Ends is a remarkably uplifting tour that begins with the science of what happens when we die, then looks at how our species will likely go extinct, what will happen to the biosephere, the Earth, the Sun, the Milky Way, and finally the entire universe. With a healthy dose of humor, Impey illuminates everything from the ambitions of human life extention to the evolutionary arms race between microbes and men, from the inescapable dimming of the sun to the ultimate big rip that will end the Universe. Who knew that the science of endings could be so fascinating, so awe-inspiring, and so surpsingly delightful?
