Big Picture - On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself (Carroll Sean)(Paperback)

Where are we? Who are we? Can the search for meaning ever fit into a scientific worldview?The instant New York Times bestseller and a Mail on Sunday Book of the Year'This is a book that should be read by everybody.' Carlo RovelliAward-winning author Sean Carroll brings his extraordinary intellect to bear on the realms of knowledge, the laws of nature and the most profound questions about life, death and our place in it all. From Darwin and Einstein to the origins of life, consciousness and the universe itself, Carroll combines cosmos-sprawling science and profound thought in a quest to explain our world. Destined to sit alongside the works of our greatest thinkers, The Big Picture demonstrates that while our lives may be forever dwarfed by the immensity of the universe, they can be redeemed by our capacity to comprehend it and give it meaning. ***'Fascinating.' Brian Cox'A seamless narrative tapestry, Sean Carroll enthralls.' Neil DeGrasse Tyson'Highly enjoyable.' Wall Street Journal
