Wow! Fabulous! Amazing! Totally cool! Every library should have this book.  It is basically a history of our understanding of our place in the universe.  The main story is told in first person, from the perspective of the collective human race, beginning with the earliest observations seeming to indicate the earth was flat and the sky a dome above.  It continues on, explaining how further observations led to more and more complex models of the universe, and in so doing shows how knowledge comes to be, as something that grows rather than something stagnant.  On every page, captioned diagrams, photos, and illustrations help to explain the thinking of the times.  It ends not with our current understanding of the universe, but with the questions still to be answered.  It’s a beautiful book, sure to spark curiosity and wonder.
