The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself

Where are we? And why are we here?

Sean Carroll, one of the most eloquent and deepest humanist thinkers of his generation, delivers a dazzling, unprecedented worldview revealing the difference between how the world works at the quantum scale, the cosmic scale, and even inside our own heads - and how they all naturally connect. Astounding scientific discoveries in the past few hundred years have transformed how we live and what really matters to us. Carroll's tour de force shows that while we seem dwarfed like never before by the immensity of time and space our capacity to comprehend it and give it meaning is our redemption.
