The Human Cosmos: Civilization and the Stars

byJo Marchant

Focused on civilization and the Stars, The Human Cosmos brings Jo Marchant's social inquiry to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of science and social science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Together, these elements make The Human Cosmos an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
