The Science of Why We Exist: A History of the Universe from the Big Bang to Consciousness

Начало книги

“This is the Outline of History that H. G. Wells would have written if he’d lived now rather than then. 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 to have written.”

—Richard Dawkins, author of The Genetic Book of the Dead

“Exceptional. A highly infectious read. From the first page I found it impossible to put down. An erudite, witty, and highly intelligent romp through the history of life as we know it.”

—Professor Kathy Willis, professor of biodiversity, University of Oxford, and author of Good Nature

“Achieves something almost impossible: lucid explanation without dumbing down. I would defy any scientist not to read this and learn something. For those with no science beyond the stuff at school which you hated, the author hated school too and has you covered. You can read this for fun and accidentally you will know as much general science as any professor.”
