Shimmering poetry and stunning cut-paper art portray epic concepts—the evolving biography of the universe and the symbiotic relationship between science and story.Since the beginning, humans have created stories about the universe. From early mythology to modern-day science is a long journey, yet 95 percent of the world “out there” remains a mystery. What will we believe tomorrow? Marion Dane Bauer’s glowing poetry combines with Hari & Deepti’s intricate cut-paper illustrations, dazzling with light and shadow, to celebrate an active, vital, changing, and growing universe. They also show how we humans—the curious ones, the storytellers—are active, vital, changing, and growing, too. In a comprehensive afterword, the author tracks formative contributions to the study of the universe by Western and non-Western civilizations over the centuries.
Marion Dane Bauer Volgorde van de boeken
Marion Dane Bauer duikt in de complexiteit van jonge levens en hun problemen, waarbij ze creatieve energie put uit het onderzoeken van deze vormende ervaringen. Ze benadert haar schrijven met een diepgewortelde behoefte om momenten uit de kindertijd die het volwassen leven vormgeven te onderzoeken en te 'repareren', waarbij ze vaak terugkeert naar de bron van deze invloeden. Bauer creëert verhalen voor verschillende leeftijdsgroepen vanuit verschillende emotionele plaatsen: voor jongere lezers schrijft ze vanuit een veilige, voedende familierelatie, terwijl ze voor oudere lezers de pijn en het verlangen naar verbinding kanaliseert die kenmerkend zijn voor de vroege adolescentie. Haar meesterlijke proza biedt lezers diepe inzichten in de ingewikkelde reis van volwassen worden.
