Big History blends geology, biology, physics, anthropology, sociology, and so much more to tell one coherent story, taking us right back to our origins and exploring how a unique series of events led to and then impacted human existence: how everything came to be, where we fit in, and even where we are going. Graphics, artworks, timelines, and at-a-glance overviews make the causes and effects of pivotal events and major thresholds in Big History instantly accessible, and evidence features explain how we know what we know. An additional 64-page reference section provides a more conventional account of events in human history. Placing humans in the context of our universe and revealing how and why we got to where we are today, Big History covers 13.8 billion years of history, from the formation of the universe and the dawn of time to the present day.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Lit. & History Oversize 909 Bi   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909 Big   Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Oversize 909 Bi   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909 Bi   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Oversize 909 Bi oversize withdrawn Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909 Bi   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
