With wonder, wit, and flair—and in record time and
space—geophysicist David Bercovici explains how everything came
to be everywhere, from the creation of stars and galaxies to the
formation of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, to the origin of life
and human civilization. Bercovici marries humor and legitimate
scientific intrigue, rocketing readers across nearly fourteen
billion years and making connections between the essential
theories that give us our current understanding of topics as
varied as particle physics, plate tectonics, and photosynthesis.
Bercovici’s unique literary endeavor is a treasure trove of real,
compelling science and fascinating history, providing both
science lovers and complete neophytes with an unforgettable
introduction to the fields of cosmology, geology, genetics,
climate science, human evolution, and more.
