'What have we learnt about the past 13.8 billion years that resulted in you looking at this book? Tim Coulson, a fun scientist who has no limits to his brain’s boundaries takes us on a free spirited intellectual romp through every aspect of what we know about our universe. A highly readable and super enjoyable book.'
'A charming, engaging and erudite account by a distinguished biologist of all the things that had to happen for you and me to exist and be as we are.'
'Step aside Star Wars – ours is the most astonishing origin story you’ll ever hear and its beautifully told by Tim Coulson.'
'An extremely enjoyable read, written in a very engaging way, and sprinkled with often very funny anecdotes. Will appeal to a broad variety of readers and inspire new generations of scientists for years to come.'
‘A gangbuster science book. A can't-put-down read. I don't think I have learned more from a single book.'
‘Achieves something almost impossible, lucid explanation without dumbing down. I would defy any scientist not to read this and learn something. For those with no science beyond the stuff at school which you hated, the author hated school too and has you covered. You can read this for fun and accidentally you will know as much general science as any Professor.’
‘Exceptional. A highly infectious read. From the first page I found it impossible to put down. An erudite, witty, and highly intelligent romp through the history of life as we know it’
‘With wit, wisdom and humility, Tim Coulson takes us on an incredible journey from the Big Bang to life as we know it on planet Earth. The prose is of a perfect weight, and an absolute joy to read.’
'Most scientists know only their own field. Tim Coulson is at home with science as an integrated whole. A pleasure to read, and a lasting accomplishment’
Tim Coulson’s book is a ripping yarn about the history of our improbable existence. It is smart, informative, yet approachable and brimming with personal anecdotes and humour.
I learnt a lot from this fantastic book on the history of the universe as will anyone who reads it.
Coulson’s book is highly readable and a neat mixture of erudition and entertainment
Tim Coulson is Professor of Zoology and joint Head of Biology at the University of Oxford. He has worked as an academic researcher and taught biology for over three decades and has published over 200 papers in scientific journals. The Universal History of Us is his first book.
