Pre-Owned Heavenly Knowledge:: An Astrophysicist Seeks Wisdom In The Stars (Paperback) 0380790017 9780380790012

You are about to take a thrilling, emotional and empowering journey extending from the farthest reaches of space to the innermost secrets of the soul. Your teacher and guide on this very personal expedition is Dr. Fiorella Terenzi-internationally reknowned as both an astrophysicist and as a recording artist, leader of a new movement blending science and art, knowledge and emotion. Dr. Terenzi makes unique connections between the way we live our daily lives and the vast universe that surrounds us. Through her telescope, she brings to life a sensual universe where comets roar through space spreading life like the process of human reproduction; the hidden galactic core becomes metaphor for self knowledge; dying stars act out great truths of being, nothingness, and rebirth. To contemplate the cosmos is an awe-inspiring experience, but the greater significance of the celestial order is found not through the eyes, but through the heart. With joyful and contagious excitement, Dr. Fiorella Terenzi imparts a kind of heavenly knowledge that will remain with you whenever you look up at the night sky.
