About the Book

In this enthralling and illuminating book, Eric Chaisson, author of the classic work Cosmic Dawn, synthesizes current scientific thinking regarding the origin and evolution of the universe. How did everything around us-the air, the land, the sea, and the stars-come to be? What is the source of order, form, and structure characterizing all material things? Drawing on recent breakthroughs in astrophysics and biochemistry, Chaisson explores the development of the most microscopic and the most immense aspects of our universe, including the idea that all objects-from quarks and quasars to microbes and minds-are interrelated. Epic of Evolution is a stunning view of how various changes, operating across almost incomprehensible domains of space and nearly inconceivable stretches of time-all by means of the cosmic evolutionary combination of chance and necessity-have given rise to our galaxy, our star, our planet, and ourselves.

Review :
A current and coherent exploration of ideas.-- "Northeastern Naturalist" His writing is clear and his overview will both educate and entertain the average reader.-- "Publishers Weekly" A thoroughly enjoyable read, and I recommend it highly.-- "Science Books and Film" A vivid picture... Even the most knowledgeable of readers can learn... This is one epic I can recommend without hesitation.--Bill Barlow "Astronomy Now" Greatly appealing for exuding the scientific spirit that asks not merely what things exist but why they exist.-- "Booklist" In clear prose, Chaisson simplifies complex subjects.--Gary Budzak "Columbus Dispatch"
