Here is the story from the big bang to us

At the time of publication, nobody had cosmic evolution or origins in mind. This is the first book I know of that literally begins with the big bang, and shows how the formation of our galaxy, our star, and our planet, and life and intelligence follow each other to offer a view of where we came from. Succinctly written and well illustrated.
