Geologist Walter Alvarez-best known for his Impact Theory explaining dinosaur extinction-makes a compelling case for a new, science-first approach to Big History. He brings a scientist's view to the human story, from the creation of our universe and our planet, the rise of life, the movement of our continents and its effect on human migration, to humanity's ascendance due to our mastery of Earth's natural resources. Alvarez's illuminating observations will give readers a new appreciation of the events, from the Big Bang to the Bronze Age and beyond, that have led to the human situation. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Human beings|xHistory. 650 0 Human evolution|xHistory. 650 0 Cosmology|xHistory. 650 0 Geology|xHistory. 650 0 Natural history. 650 0 Civilization|xHistory. 650 0 History|xPhilosophy. 651 0 Earth (Planet)|xHistory. 700 1 Verner, Adam,|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11766711?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ dsa_9781520046419_180.jpeg
