Take Il Viaggio Delluniverso Composed By Brian Swimme Listed As Script

book is an important and easy read for people of all ages, It brings us up to date how we got where we are, I believe the deeper call to action is to recognize that we can consciously help cocreate our future, Just as the recent past has been shaped by humans, the destiny of our future and therefore responsibility may also be largely in Humanitys hands.
I love the language used in this book, It speaks science to the heart and so tells us how it relates to us, İyi bir başlangıç kitabı, Bu tarz konularda pek araştırmadıysanız iyi gelecektir, Sonda tüm olaylar kronolijik olarak sıralanmış o çok hoşuma gitti, Apparently Im in the minority but I thought this was a terrible book, I was looking for a science book that would explain some cosmology to my grandkids but found a terribly written book instead,

As an example, “Why are we so fascinated by the Some of our ancestors thought were gods, Still others thought the were angels pouring forth virtue upon the Earth, Contemporary scientists refer to as giant balls of gas, ”

This reads like a kids letter home from camp,

I gave up reading this book about halfway through, While there are some interesting facts the writing made it impossible to continue, I'm not actually sure what this book was setting out to do, Is it a book about philosophy Science Astronomy Climate change Selfhelp even The sad thing is, it is not really any of them, There were a few interesting tidbits of information, but most of the book was so caught up in flowery, unnecessary language that it actually didn't really say very much.
I think it lost me about the point it started talking about the desires and passions of spiders, Add to that some very random comments about whale people and bird people, and I wondered what I was doing reading it, too spacey Even though this was a book I was forced to read in a week for school, I liked it, It made me think of my footprint on the natural world and how I could start to reduce it, It filled me with childlike wonder as it described how the universe was born and how life came to be, The timeline

at the end, . . priceless for a Social Studies teacher, I'm no scientist but found it easy to follow, interesting and helped deepen my respect for the interconnectedness of life on earth, It also helped remind me that we would do well to leave our world a better place for generations who follow us, Meh. Kind of a watered down version of Swimme's "The Universe Story, " A lot of money for not very much book, Still, if you haven't been exposed to Swimme's work before this is a good introduction, In general I support the mission of their project, I just wish this book had offered more to those of us who are already following their work.
While it's hard to review this book in relation to other more dense deepdives of environmental history, this is a tremendously important text as a guiding cosmological map in our atomized and modern world.
It is a direct antidote to the Bannonesque vision of life on earth, It's hard to remind yourself on a daily basis just how truly bananas and rare that it is we are here at all, That anything is here at all, On our best days, our society values rationality and progress, This book argues that paradigm in and of itself is limiting to a vision of the world buoyed by wonder, Interesting read. Very informative. Interesting book. Not really deeply scientific, more so relating basic scientific concepts to broader inspirational ideas about birth, death, and our place in the universe, Not particularly inspiring to me, but could be a lot more meaningful to someone whos much more “in tune” with their connection to the universe.
Bought it for a class next semester but then the professor changed reading list, Good. Im ok with it. This little book presents a kind of cosmology: a history of the universe, focused on the Earth and the role of humans, The major thesis, the telling of the human story, is an interesting blend of religion and science which takes both seriously, This telling makes sense of how many of the processes involved are nested one within another and how this blending is helpful in telling and understanding our story.
Despite some errors the innermost core of the Earth is not liquid but solid and trilobite eyes were not made of calcite crystals, only the lenses were this book is an important beginning of assessing from where we've come, where we are now, and where we are headed.
The book is a slender volume which will get you thinking, Highly recommended.

Note: The book has been made into a film and Yale University offers a course based on this book through Coursera, org See: sitelink com/. I'm working on a photo essay on the subject of deep time and the implications for human behavior, I found this book to have some good raw material for this concept, While mostly a science book, I found some of the language is lovely and poetic, Scientific review of what science now knows about the history of the universe, Not near as inspiring and thoughtful as his green dragon book, . . Not recommended Journey of the Universe got off to a slow start for me, I was thinking that this is a fascinating recitation of what philosopers and scientists have revealed about our universe, but what's the point Where is it going A short book, onlypages, withpages of appendices, notes, and bibliography, Swimme and Tucker's book accompanies a documentary television program they produced for PBS.
Swimme and Tucker recount the origins of the universe, the galaxies, our galaxy, the planets, our planet, life on Earth, evolution, and so on.
About halfway through the book, I watched the documentary of the same name and the book benefitted from the visual complement, And I got a sneak peek at "the point, " The point is that in the,billion year history of the universe, the,billion year history of our planet, and the,million year evolution of human beings, we are no longer a benign part of the process humans especially those of us in industrialized countries have become the agents of destruction.
It's not a novel message, but I admit that it is powerful in the succinct retelling of the long story of how we got here.
The authors offer hope that we can change course and stop destroying the planet, but it's sobering to think that after billions of years of moving forward, we may actually be moving backward.
A beautiful mystical interpretation of Science, Liking this book would be pretty subjective because it is unlike most science, Overall a "Our human destiny is to become the heart of the universe that embraces the whole of the Earth community, We are just a speck in the universe, but we are brings with the capacity to feel comprehensive compassion in the midst of an ocean of intimacy" page

Journey of the Universe is precisely that, an account of the universe's odyssey from the big bang right up to the present day, as based on the latest scientific understanding of how the cosmos has formed.


Swimme and Tucker largely adopt the overview of Big History in how they take us through each of the phases of the universe's growth and each of the major turning points of human development and recorded history this approach makes for a very a succinct and enjoyable story that has all the makings of a great myth.
. . except it is real!

The book is a very short read, onlypages, and the prose, while overly poetic, is also equally simplistic, and it is clear to see that this book was written for anyone to enjoy.
Journey of the Universe is designed to open peoples' minds up to a bigger picture that is relevant to each and everyone of us.


The point of this book is to, firstly, cultivate a better understanding of how the term 'nature' applies to everything that is present in the universe and how human beings are just another part of that natural system we are both a lucky product and increasingly we are becoming care takers of this natural system.


However , secondly, this book has been written with the express goal of cultivating proactive and compassionate human beings who are fully aware of the ecological damage the human race is causing the world and how that damage is in turn detrimentally effecting human beings.


Ultimately, Journey of the Universe is a very convincing and heart felt plea to be ecologically conscious human beings who do our utmost to change our patterns of behaviour and systems of operation in order to live in harmony with nature, to fully appreciate that nature and to be an essential part of that nature.


We are all part of the same journey and will continue to be a part of this journey for a very long time to come, but only if we heed the warning of this book and start putting into practice its vision of a united Earth community fully aware of the universe around them and how they are the caretakers of that universe.
