A Little History of Everything

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.
