dear Tak Sun



I am writing to let you know about the publication of the book “Stardust: the cosmic seeds of life”, just released by Springer.
The book uses language accessible to an educated layman to describe the history and latest developments in the study of star dust. It should be of interest to people who are curious about how stellar organics may have influenced the origin of life on Earth.
A table of contents is given below.
Where Do We Come From?
Rocks and Dust in the Planetary Neighborhood
Impacts from Beyond
Descendants of Stars
Glowing in the Dark
Stardust in Our Eyes
The Oldest and Brightest
Neon Signs in the Sky
Stars as Molecular Factories
Smoke from Stellar Chimneys
Gems from Heaven
Diamonds in the Sky
A Mysterious Red Glow
A Celestial Origin for Oil?
Organics in Our Solar System
Stardust in Our Hands
Bacteria in Space?
Comets: Messengers from the Past
Where Do Oceans Come from?
Playing God with Primordial Soup
Stardust and Origin of Life
Our Place in the Universe

A preview of the book can be found in

The book is available through Amazon.com for $37.95, or at springer.com for €39.95. The e-book edition is available at amazon.com for $33.96.
I would be most interested to hear any feedback, comments, and criticism of the book. Please feel free to pass this message to your colleagues, friends and students who may be interested.

Best regards,


Sun
