Hi - I have a new book and any reader interested in reading for review can get a free copy. It is 'The Evolution of Everything - a scientific and causal examination of Big History'.
This is a popular science book - it is a 'Big History' examination of the last 14.5 billion years. I am an academic paleoanthropologist, so I use an explicitly scientific, and more precisely, evolutionary perspective. The book covers prehistory, and ancient and modern history, but from the perspective of causality in this scientific framework.
One of the goals of the book is somewhat in line with 'Mathematics for the Million', written during the Great Depression as a method of mathematics education for folks who couldn't afford schooling. This is a whole course in one book - in fact I will use it in my course starting next Fall. But it is written in a very accessible style, specifically for the popular audience.
If anyone is interested in reading for review, Cambridge will provide a free copy (e-book or paperback). Here is the link: http://ow.ly/mm1s50Nr0Tc and you will need the ISBN: 9781108797320 . If you have trouble with getting a copy, let me know and I will ping Cambridge.
I would be very interested in discussion and answering any questions readers might have.
Hi there -- I would absolutely love to review your book. It's exactly the kind of topic and treatment I crave, having listened to a previous audiobook series on Big History. But i can't seem to access the page to request it from the publisher. Is there any alternative way to avail myself of this generous offer? Sue Treiman/ sue.treiman@gmail.com/
