Overview of New Scientist: The Origin of (Almost) Everything Book

- Introduction by Professor Stephen Hawking. - The thinking person's Christmas present of choice in 2016 and for years to come. - For fans of XKCD, QI, the Thing Explainer and the Big Bang Theory - A major launch at the first New Scientist Live, Europe's largest science festival in September at London's Excel Centre - Where did we come from. . . and where exactly are we going? Look through the eyes of New Scientist and you will never see the world in the same way again - Does Anything Eat Wasps meets Information Is Beautiful: A full-color infographic journey through life, the universe and everything. From what actually happened in the Big Bang to the accidental discovery of post-it notes, science is packed with surprising discoveries. Did you know, for instance, that if you were to get too close to a black hole it would suck you up like a noodle (it's called spaghettification), why your keyboard is laid out in QWERTY (it's not to make it easier to type) or whether the invention of the wheel was less important to civilization than the bag (think about it). New Scientist does. And now they and the New York Times' brilliant graphics editor Jennifer Daniel want to take you on a whistle-stop journey from the start of our universe (through the history of stars, galaxies, meteorites, the Moon and dark energy) to our planet (through oceans and weather to oil) and life (through dinosaurs to emotions and sex) to civilization (from cities to alcohol and cooking), knowledge (from alphabets to alchemy) ending up with technology (computers to rocket science). Witty essays explore the concepts alongside enlightening infographics that zoom from how many people have ever lived to showing you how a left-wing brain differs from a right-wing one.
