I loved this book, had a great ton of particles and atoms and molecular science and I can list things all day. This was a great book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great book with photos and graphs
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2019*

I bought my husband tickets to see Brian Cox, but I wanted something to wrap them in so I wasn’t just handing him some pieces of paper. I quickly got on Amazon and picked out a book written by Brian Cox. I didn’t even read the reviews. I saw that it was one we didn’t have and immediately purchased it. I also didn’t look at it in depth when it arrived because I was trying to be sneaky. It didn’t really need to be good since it was just a vehicle for his real present. After my husband stopped hugging me and waving the tickets in the air, he started reading the book. He asked me if I’d read any of it. I told him I’d only looked at the photos. He said it’s an amazing book. Score two points for two awesome presents! It really does look like a very good book, and maybe I’ll get to read it someday. If he ever stops carrying it around everywhere.

    Solid Complement to the BBC Series
  

*by B***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2016*

Human Universe by Professor Brian Cox“Human Universe" is a very good complementary book to the BBC documentary series of the same name. Professor Brian Cox takes the reader on an uplifting journey of the big questions that has taken humanity from ape-man to space-man. This entertaining 256-page book is broken out by the following five sections: 1. Where are We?, 2. Are We Alone?, 3. Who are We?, 4. Why are We Here?, and 5. What is Our Future?Positives:1. Innate ability to make science accessible and fun for the masses.2. An excellent topic, answering big philosophical questions based on the best of our current knowledge. “This book asks questions about our origins, our destiny, and our place in the universe.”3. Cox is a gifted author and educator; his books are fun and educational. His passion for science and love of humanity is exuded throughout the book.4. Great use of charts and illustrations to assist the reader.5. Excellent, easy-to-follow format. Each section begins with a big philosophical question followed up by bite-size supporting topics.6. As you would expect, the book is full of interesting factoids. “The Sun is one star amongst 400 billion in the Milky Way Galaxy, itself just one galaxy amongst 350 billion in the observable universe.”7. The impact of the grand theory of General Relativity. “Many physicists regard General Relativity as the most beautiful piece of physics yet devised by the human mind.”8. Great examples where science clashed with religion, handled with the utmost respect and care. “Catholic dogma asserted that the Moon and the other heavenly bodies were perfect, unblemished spheres. Previous astronomers who had viewed the Moon, either with the naked eye or through telescopes, had drawn a two-dimensional blotchy surface, but Galileo saw the patterns of light and dark differently. His training in chiaroscuro revealed to him an alien lunar landscape of mountain ranges and craters.”9. The beauty of science at work, evidence for the Big Bang Theory. “It is sufficient to say that the discovery that the universe is still glowing at a temperature of 2.7 degrees above absolute zero was the final evidence that convinced even the most sceptical scientists that the Big Bang theory was the most compelling model for the evolution of the universe.”10. The science method applied. “It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.”11. A fascinating discussion on the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations. The Drake equation. “If there are any civilisations making a serious attempt to contact us with technology at least as advanced as our own within a thousand light years, the Allen Array will hear them.”12. The recipe for life discussed. A look at alien worlds and what’s considered the habitable zone.13. A brief history of life on Earth. “We are mammals, which first appeared 225 million years ago in the Triassic era.”14. A look at space exploration.15. Human evolution. “It is believed that around 7 or 8 million years ago we split from the chimpanzees and the process of evolution into bipedal Homo sapiens began as these monkeys started to spend more time on the ground than in the trees.”16. A brief explanation on how the laws of nature allow for human beings to exist. “The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory that explains the interactions between subatomic particles in the form of the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces.” “General Relativity and the Standard Model are the rules of the game. They contain all our knowledge of the way that nature behaves at the most fundamental level.”17. An amusing look at the snowflake.18. Was the universe made for us? An excellent response worth repeating, “Our universe appears to be made for us. We live on a perfect planet, orbiting around a perfect star. This is of course content-free whimsy. The argument is backwards. We have to be a perfect fit for the planet because we evolved on it.”19. A great case for science. “Science and reason make the darkness visible. I worry that lack of investment in science and a retreat from reason may prevent us from seeing further, or delay our reaction to what we see, making a meaningful response impossible.”20. A picture section included.Negatives:1. Solid effort but not quite to the standards of previous outstanding books.2. The book is quite ambitious and loses focus.3. Let’s face it some topics even at its simplest (quantum mechanics) are a challenge to follow.4. No formal bibliography or book recommendations.In summary, this is an inspirational and fun book to read. Brian Cox is one of my favorite science personalities and his books reflect his warm, engaging personality. However, this is not his best effort. This book though very good does not live to the standards of some of his previous outstanding books like Wonders of the Universe. That aside, this is an excellent complementary piece to the documentary series of the same name and is worth your time. I recommend it.Further recommendations: “The Quantum Universe”, “Wonders of the Universe”, “Wonders of Life” by the same author, “Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution” by Neil deGrasse Tyson, “Faith vs. Fact” by Jerry A. Coyne, “The Vital Question” by Nick Lane, “Sapiens” by Yuval Noah Harari, “The Big Questions” by New Scientist Collection, “To Explain the World” by Steven Weinberg, “The Universe” edited by John Brockman, “A Universe From Nothing” by Lawrence Krauss, “The Upright Thinkers” by Leonard Mlodinow, “The Neanderthals Rediscovered” by Papagianni and Morse, and the Grand Design by Stephen Hawking.
