Reviews
"Language philosophy, quantum mechanics, general relativity--they're all in The Big Picture . Sean Carroll is a fantastically erudite and entertaining writer." --Elizabeth Kolbert, author of New York Times bestseller The Sixth Extinction "In this timely exploration of the universe and its mysteries--both physical and metaphysical--Sean Carroll illuminates the world around us with clarity, beauty and, ultimately, with much needed wisdom." --Deborah Blum, director, Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT, author of The Poisoner's Handbook "Guides us through several centuries' worth of scientific discoveries to show how they have shaped our understanding and indeed how the laws of nature are linked to the most fundamental human questions of life, death, and our place in the cosmos." --Barbara Hoffert, Prepub Alert, Library Journal "A sweeping new perspective on how human purpose and meaning naturally fit into a scientific worldview." --Selected as one of the top ten science books, spring 2016, Publisher's Weekly

Synopsis
The instant New York Times bestseller about humanity's place in the universe--and how we understand it. "Vivid...impressive....Splendidly informative." -- The New York Times " Succeeds spectacularly. " --Science " A tour de force. " -- Salon Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on Higgs bosons and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions: Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void? Do human purpose and meaning fit into a scientific worldview? In short chapters filled with intriguing historical anecdotes, personal asides, and rigorous exposition, readers learn the difference between how the world works at the quantum level, the cosmic level, and the human level -- and then how each connects to the other. Carroll's presentation of the principles that have guided the scientific revolution from Darwin and Einstein to the origins of life, consciousness, and the universe is dazzlingly unique. Carroll shows how an avalanche of discoveries in the past few hundred years has changed our world and what really matters to us. Our lives are dwarfed like never before by the immensity of space and time, but they are redeemed by our capacity to comprehend it and give it meaning. The Big Picture is an unprecedented scientific worldview, a tour de force that will sit on shelves alongside the works of Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Daniel Dennett, and E. O. Wilson for years to come., The instant New York Times bestseller about humanity's place in the universe--and how we understand it.
