Big History: Between Nothing and Everything surveys the past not just
of humanity, or even of planet Earth, but of the entire universe. In
reading this book instructors and students will retrace a voyage that
began 13.7 billion years ago with the Big Bang and the appearance of the
universe. Big history incorporates findings from cosmology, earth and
life sciences, and human history, and assembles them into a single,
universal historical narrative of our universe and of our place within
it.
The first edition of Big History: Between Nothing and Everything, is
written by the pioneers of the field, and presents a framework for
learning about anything and everything. It encourages students to think
critically about our cumulative history and the future of the world
through a variety of lenses.
