ORIGIN STORY - DAVID CHRISTIAN KARTONIERT (TB)

This New York Times bestseller elegantly weaves evidence and insights . . . into a single 
accessible historical narrative (Bill Gates) and presents a captivating history of the universe
-- from the Big Bang to dinosaurs to mass globalization and beyond. Most historians study the
smallest slivers of time  emphasizing specific dates  individuals  and documents. But what
would it look like to study the whole of history  from the big bang through the present day --
and even into the remote future? How would looking at the full span of time change the way we
perceive the universe  the earth  and our very existence? These were the questions David
Christian set out to answer when he created the field of Big History  the most exciting new
approach to understanding where we have been  where we are  and where we are going. In Origin
Story  Christian takes readers on a wild ride through the entire 13.8 billion years we've come
to know as history. By focusing on defining events (thresholds)  major trends  and profound
questions about our origins  Christian exposes the hidden threads that tie everything together
-- from the creation of the planet to the advent of agriculture  nuclear war  and beyond. With
stunning insights into the origin of the universe  the beginning of life  the emergence of
humans  and what the future might bring  Origin Story boldly reframes our place in the cosmos.
