As a history "buff", the detail of scientist understandings and attitudes was enlightening.

I loved this book. Took me longer to read than other books because of how much information it gives you. Definitely reading again with notebook and pens.

This book transitions you from a sense of Self to a sense of Wonder. To contemplate the machinations of a 13. 7 billion year phenomena can create an overwhelming sense of joy. It is currently the best attempt at a 'Total Perspective Vortex'. It helps one transition from a state of Self Awareness to a state of Reflective Awareness.

I've read this book a few times now and every time I pick up something I've missed from the last read. Simply one of the greatest books in my library.

Makes history interesting. Not like an old fashioned textbook.
