The authors of The View From the Center of the Universe and distinguished scholars at UCSC, the husband and wife team of Primack and Abrams have written a dynamic, groundbreaking book that fuses science and the questions of value and meaning. Based on the Terry Lectures that the authors gave at Yale University in 2009, The New Universe and the Human Future presents an explosive and potentially life-altering idea: if the world could agree on a shared creation story based on modern cosmology and biology—a story that has just become available—it would redefine our relationship with Planet Earth and benefit all of humanity, now and into the distant future. Accessible and beautifully illustrated, the book interprets what our human place in the cosmos may mean for us and our descendants, thus offering unique insights into seemingly intractable global problems such as climate change and unsustainable growth.
