Description: The indefatigable Pickover presents an introduction to the evolution and behavior of "a veritable zoo of strange stars," from our sun, a run-of-the-mill main sequence yellow "dwarf," to supergiants larger than the orbit of Jupiter to pulsars, neutron stars, black holes, and lesser-known bizarre stellar products. In a blend of science and science fiction, he utilizes a pair of quirky space travelers to present concepts and relevant formulas. Bob, a futuristic human, is curator of an intergalactic art museum. His diamond-bodied scolex companion, Mr. Plex, can survive the harshness of space and will perform any experiment Bob asks him to. This educational device has its fun moments, but some serious readers may find it a bit much. Beyond that, there's plenty here to contemplate, since without exploding stars, there would be no "seagull cries, computer chips, trilobites, Beethovens, or the tears of a little girl." Pickover is one of popular science's most prolific and animated writers as well as a multitalented inventor, puzzlemaker, and graphic artist.
