which he hosted and was first broadcast September 28-29.
In addition, a book he recently co-authored, Origins: Fourteen Billion
Years of Cosmic Evolution, is available in the Exchange Shop. This book
"presents evidence that our true origins are not just human, or even
terrestrial, but actually cosmic." Retail price is $27.95; Exchange Shop

on Tuesday, November 2. To guarantee you get a signed copy of this exciting
book, purchase it in advance.
