Origin Story: A Big History of Everything

A captivating history of the universe -- from before the dawn of time through the far reaches of the distant future. Origin story a big history of everything historians study the smallest slivers of time, emphasizing specific dates, individuals, and documents. But what would it look like to study the whole of history, from the big bang through the present day -- and even into the remote future. How would looking at the full span of time change the way we perceive the universe, the earth, and our very existence. In Origin Story, Christian takes readers on a wild ride through the entire 13. With stunning insights into the origin of the universe, the beginning of life, the emergence of humans, and what the future might bring, Origin Story boldly reframes our place in the cosmos. We all have an origin story. In some societies, they manifest as creation myths. In others, they look more like history textbooks. For example, as a kid in the United States, I grew up learning about the group of rebels who stood up to their British overlords and founded our country. But what if all of humanity shared an origin story. What would that story look like. Historian David Christian tries to answer those questions in his new book Origin Story. As the creator of Big History—my favorite course of all time—David is well-suited to write about how origin story a big history of everything came to be. It shows how everything is connected to everything else, weaving together insights and evidence from across disciplines into a single, understandable narrative. Origin Story is essentially the Big History course condensed into a short book. The chapters about the early thresholds are heavy on physics and chemistry, but it skews more towards biology and anthropology as single cell life evolves into more complex beings. David is a very good writer, and he has a way of making complicated subjects fun. It does a fantastic job distilling the latest thinking about the origins of the universe. I learned some things that are simply too new to be included in the course. The book ends with a chapter on where humanity—and the universe—is headed. David is more pessimistic about the future than I am. He gets a little stuck on the current economic and political malaise happening in the West, and I wish he talked more about the role innovation will play in preventing the worst effects of climate change. Like it or not, we are now managing an entire biosphere, and we can do it well or badly. Origin Story is an up-to-date history of everything that will leave you with a greater appreciation of our place in the universe. I also suspect if he reviewed and recommended this not because he personally found it great, but because he wanted others to read it as a good, lucid introductory book on Big History. It deals with the origin of the universe to the origin of human beings. The book has more information than insights and for this part, the book felt a bit better. Instead of insights you have a lot of children's general history level facts thrown at you here. It was so uninteresting that I skimmed the last chapter. Avoid, unless this is the first book you will be reading on this subject. And my level of disappointment is bcoz I have read some fantastic books on related topics.

All ages will profit from the lessons in this book. One of the main characters in this book is entropy, and entropy always wins in the end. Finally, a colleague at Princeton suggested the hiss might have something to do with the start of the Universe. David Christian is not a big fan of micro-history. And like all origin stories below, the Big History story has developed over time, and will continue to evolve. Origin Story is essentially the Big History course condensed into a short book. مسلما قسمت های زیادی وجود داره که نویسنده تنها یکی از نظریه های موجود رو در نظر گرفته و از بحث در مورد سایر نظریه ها به هر دلیلی چشم پوشی کرده. These are the same people who insist on dark matter but have no clue about what it is. Avoid, unless this is the first book you will be reading on this subject. The book is written with exceptional clarity and organization.
