You Are Here is a dazzling exploration of the universe and our relationship to it.

It is the story of how something evolved from nothing, and how something became everything. It is the story of science: the greatest story ever told.

Here, for the first time in a single span, is the life of the universe, from quarks to galaxy super-clusters, and from slime to Homo sapiens.

The universe was once a moment of perfect symmetry, and is now 13.7 billion years of history. Clouds of gas were woven into whatever complexity we find in the universe today: the hierarchies of stars, or the brains of mammals.

With wit and erudition, Christopher Potter takes us on a voyage beyond even time and space, to present the state of scientific knowledge at its most up-to-date and exhilarating.

Reseñas de la crítica

One of the most entertaining and thoughtful pop-science books to be published for years
Anyone drawn to the big questions will enjoy this latest synthesis
A wonderful, miraculous book ... The whole universe bottled for your delight (Stephen Fry)
You Are Here will provide an antidote to existential vertigo, helping you find your feet in a limitless universe (Matt Ridley)
One of the best popular science books I have ever read
Wonderful stuff, the most thoughtful pop science book of the last few years ... erudite, elegant and thoughtfully constructed
I read it in an evening, with a sense of increasing excitement, and then vertigo, and finally a sort of stunned awe
For many years, I've secretly longed for someone to take me by the hand and walk me through time and space - someone who would marvel with me at every strange thing we encountered, and pepper his scientific discourse with lines of poetry. Thank goodness Christopher Potter has come along at last (Dava Sobel)
A marvelously capacious book that will attract serious readers everywhere
Any reader who has avoided science for fear of being overwhelmed will find a friendly guide in Potter ... This clear and smoothly written look at the mind-boggling history of everything is both informative and provocative
