520    "The complete story of the universe and absolutely 
       everything in it (minus the boring parts). Despite our 
       clever linguistic abilities, humans are spectacularly ill-
       equipped to comprehend what's happening in the universe. 
       Our senses and intuition routinely mislead us. The 
       Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything (Abridged) tells 
       the story of how we came to suppress our monkey minds and 
       perceive the true nature of reality. Written with wit and 
       humor, this brief book tells the story of science-tales of
       fumbles and missteps, errors and egos, hard work, 
       accidents, and some really bad decisions-all of which have
       created the sum total of human knowledge. Geneticist Adam 
       Rutherford and mathematician Hannah Fry guide readers 
       through time and space, through our bodies and brains, 
       showing how emotions shape our view of reality, how our 
       minds tell us lies, and why a mostly bald and curious ape 
       decided to begin poking at the fabric of the universe. 
       Rutherford and Fry shine as science sleuths, wrestling 
       with some truly head-scratching questions: Where did time 
       come from? Do we have free will? Does my dog love me? 
       Hilarious sidebars present memorable scientific oddities: 
       for example, hypnotized snails, human-sized ants, and the 
       average time it takes most animals to evacuate their 
       bladders. (A surprisingly consistent twenty-one seconds, 
       if you must know.) Both rigorous and playful, The Complete
       Guide to Absolutely Everything (Abridged) is a celebration
       of the weirdness of the cosmos, the strangeness of humans,
       and the joys and follies of scientific discovery"--
