Big History is a new field that has been developing rapidly around the world. It deals with the universe’s grand narrative of 13.8 billion years and provides a connection between our past, present and future. This volume, the second in a three-volume series, considers humanity’s search for meaning and expression. It seeks to challenge and excite our vision of daily life in light of the discoveries happening all around us.
The Third Volume of the Big History Series helps us to understand the nature of our existence and consider the pathways to our future. This volume will challenge and excite your vision of your own life as well as focus on the new discoveries happening around us. Together with the authors, who come from all the inhabited continents of our planet, you will embark on a fascinating trip into the depths of time and space, and — we hope — will join us in coming to an understanding of our origins and our future.
