From the Publisher: What reaches everywhere and never tires? Pulling on feathers and galaxies alike? Holding the mighty Milky Way together? Gravity, of course!
I love it when a book can take a complex scientific topic and make it easy to understand, and talk about it as a friend and partner in life. And yet, not too simple – making sure he talks about the forming of stars and planets and black holes! This is what Henry Herz does in his simple and lyric poetry. He explains how gravity can create planets, compress atoms, but also help us leap and play without floating away like a balloon. “I hug you forever…I am gravity.”
