On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself. Over the last few hundred years an avalanche of discoveries have changed our world dramatically, having a profound effect on what we think really matters. Now, in his most ambitous book yet, Sean Carroll breaks down how the universe works at the quantum, cosmic and human levels to reveal how our everyday lives connect to the underlying laws of nature. A synthesis of cosmos-sprawing science and the most profound questions about life, death and our place in it all - the ultimate guide to the scientific revolution that has taken us from Darwin and Einstein to the origins of life.
