Description
A COMPLETE, UNCOMPLICATED GUIDE TO THE SCIENCE OF LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING INBETWEEN
‘Most scientists know only their own field. Tim Coulson is at home with science as an integrated whole. A pleasure to read, and a lasting accomplishment’ Richard Dawkins
'Step aside Star Wars – ours is the most astonishing origin story you’ll ever hear and its beautifully told by Tim Coulson’ Professor Ken Norris, Deputy Director of Science at the Natural History Museum
--
What made the universe?
How did we come to exist?
Where are we going?
Once, such questions belonged to religion or philosophy. But in the last century scientists have been uncovering astonishing answers to explain the wonder of ourselves, our world and our universe.
Professor Tim Coulson takes us back to the beginning of everything – the Big Bang 13.8 million years ago – and tells us the epic story of how we came to be.
From the emergence of the first atom to the mysteries of human consciousness, this book is, in short, the complete and utter history of everything.
