Title: Big history and the future of humanity
Description: ""Big History" places the human past within the history of life, the Earth, and the Universe. In doing so, the emerging field of historical study provides us with an overview of the known past in its entirety, from the beginning of time until the present day. In big History and the Future of Humanity, Spier presents a simple theoretical approach that not only makes big history accessible, but reveals what the future may hold for humanity."--Back cover.
