You Are Here is a dazzling exploration of the universe & our relationship to it.
It is the story of how something evolved from nothing, & how something became everything. It is the story of science: the greatest story ever told.
Here, for the first time in a single span, is the life of the universe, from quarks to galaxy super-clusters, & from slime to Homo sapiens.
The universe was once a moment of perfect symmetry, & is now 13.7 billion years of history. Clouds of gas were woven into whatever complexity we find in the universe today: the hierarchies of stars, or the brains of mammals.
With wit & erudition, Christopher Potter takes us on a voyage beyond even time & space, to present the state of scientific knowledge at its most up-to-date & exhilarating.
