Abstract

Born with a Bang and From Lava to Life, books one and two of a three part series (the third will be available in 2005), artistically tell the story of the beginning of the universe, the creation of Earth, and the development of its diverse life forms. Morgan and Anderson incorporate Western science, art, and poetry with a tone of spiritual connectedness that emphasizes our place as humans within the creation process and the universal web of existence. The visually delightful artistry and simplistic writing style contrast markedly with the complicated scientific content making their intended audience unclear. However, infusing science and art in a style reminiscent of ancient mythology, the authors succeed in reflecting the curiosity and creativity that define what it is to be human.
