Fascinatingly comprehensive- a "must read"

This is an impressively comprehensive treatise on the extraordinary evolution of our universe- not just the cosmos, but our planet, our species, and our collective consciousness. In a mere 200 pages, Dr. Mallary walks us through the instantiation of the universe we know, from the first unimaginably short eras of the big bang all the way up to the challenges mankind has been presented in dealing with what that singular bang hath wrought billions of years later. This unified look at the physics of "how" and the philosophy of "why" is an expansion of both fields into a thought-provoking realm beyond the horizons of either, a realm that may catalyze epiphanies about the incredible value of our remarkable home. The physics in the book is fascinating and presented in language comprehensible to the general public. The philosophic aspects are grounded in common-sense reasoning backed up by science and mathematics. The result is a book that can and should be enjoyed by readers of all mindsets, from physicists to philosophers, including anyone who's ever asked "why are we here?".
