Big history can provide a framework for us to understand all history from the Big Bang to the present. Usually, in schools, science and history are taught separately - there are special physics classes, and there are special courses about the origins of civilization - but big history breaks this boundary. It places the past of mankind in the history of life, the earth and the universe. It has become a wonderful way to explain the formation of ourselves and everything around us. Any problem in today's world can be explained in big history. It can be said that big history provides an ideological framework that connects and integrates nature and humanity, history and the present. From cosmology to geology, from biology to human history, "Big History and the Future of Humanity (Revised Edition)" connects the core concepts and paradigms of many disciplines, traces the rise and demise of all major forms of complexity, including human behavior, value systems, and the operation of the universe. It proposes an energy flow model, builds a big history framework, explains the principles of big history operation, and provides new insights into the future of mankind. In addition, this book also contains various "small histories" and explanations of scientific concepts, allowing us to realize how grand concepts are connected with daily life, and explaining a kind of big history that everyone can understand.
