by (u. S.) David Christian Et Al.
About This Novel
"Big History" examines not only the past of mankind, but also the past of the earth and even the past of the universe. By reading this book, readers will trace a history that began 13.8 Billion years ago, beginning with the Big Bang and the emergence of the universe. Big history encompasses research results in the fields of cosmology, earth and life sciences, and humanistic history, and integrates them into a single, universal historical narrative that provides the most scientific and comprehensive introduction possible to the universe and our place in it. The book summarizes eight major breakthroughs in the evolution of history. Each breakthrough means the emergence of something brand new. From the universe to the earth, from the first life to human beings, from agricultural civilization to modern revolution, the author outlines the emergence and development of all things in the world in the order from "nothing" to "existence", using eight breakthroughs as clues. Ultimately, this book makes predictions about our near and distant future from a big historical perspective.
