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.--A highly readable and super enjoyable book . . . that takes us on a free-spirited intellectual romp through every aspect of what we know about our universe Peter Hudson FRS Willaman Professor of Biology at Penn StateA charming, engaging and erudite account David Christian, author of New York Times bestseller Origin Story (2018)A gangbuster science book. A cant-put-down read. I dont think I have learned more from a single book Douglas W. Smith, Former Senior Wildlife Biologist, Yellowstone National ParkExceptional. A highly infectious read. From the first page I found it impossible to put down Professor Baroness Kathy Willis, Professor of Biodiversity, University of OxfordAchieves something almost impossible, lucid explanation without dumbing down . . . can read this for fun and accidentally you will know as much general science as any Professor James H Naismith FRS FRSE FMedSci MAE, Head of the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division at Oxford, Professor of Structural BiologyWith wit, wisdom and humility. The prose is of a perfect weight, and an absolute joy to read Sunetra Gupta, Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology at the University of OxfordWill appeal to a broad variety of readers and inspire new generations of scientists for years to come Quentin Paynter
