A Book Review

For Jacob Berkowitz, the writing of this book was a true labor of love and dedication. His enthusiasm is infectious and his attention to detail, while making his words comprehensible to the average person, is superb.
The Stardust Revolution takes the reader on a fascinating journey of scientific exploration of the universe since the early days when humankind first stared at the stars in awe. The author not only cites the discoveries that have helped us to understand the cosmos, he clearly demonstrates the evolution of scientific thinking that shows us how the roots or our origins llie well beyond the planet we call home.
One of the most appealing things about Berkowitz’s effort is his interviews with cutting-edge scientists, whether in their offices or at conferences. This personal approach to uncovering key information is not only vital to the essence of the book, it also humanizes what is being offered in a most appealing way.
I read this book because I thought it might help me in the development of my next book of young adult fiction and I am so glad I did. The Stardust Revolution will now be a key source as I write targeting Orion’s Children, Book III of The St. Augustine Trilogy.
Thank you Jacob Berkowitz for a job well done.
