Summary

Breve historia del mundo viene a dar respuesta a todas estas preguntas, pues aborda el cambio histórico en el cosmos, desde el Big Bang —pasando por la evolución de la vida y los acontecimientos fundamentales de la historia humana—, hasta el momento actual y más allá. En estas pocas páginas, David Baker nos ofrece una panorámica de 13.800 millones de años. De su mano, el lector descubrirá cómo meros átomos de hidrógeno han acabado dando lugar a complejas sociedades humanas. Una narrativa convincente e informada que combina los conocimientos de la química, la biología y la física con los de las humanidades y las ciencias sociales. Un enfoque “Big History” que nos lleva ver más allá del desconcierto de los asuntos humanos y que, al adoptar un punto de vista planetario, nos permite asimismo intuir cómo será el futuro.

When did time begin to flow? What caused human life to appear on Earth? And life in general? Is it true that we are made of “stardust”? Does all of this have an end? 
Brief History of the World sets out to answer all these questions, exploring historical change across the cosmos, from the Big Bang, through the evolution of life and the key events in human history, to the present moment and beyond. In just a few pages, David Baker presents a sweeping overview of 13.8 billion years. Under his guidance, readers will discover how merely hydrogen atoms eventually gave rise to complex human societies. This compelling and insightful narrative combines knowledge from chemistry, biology, and physics with the humanities and social sciences. It’s a “big History” approach that helps us see beyond the confusion of human affairs and, by adopting a planetary perspective, also gives us a glimpse o what the future might hold.
