From acclaimed writer and biologist Sean Carroll, a rollicking, awe-inspiring story of the surprising power of chance in our lives and the world
Why is the world the way it is? How did we get here? Does everything happen for a reason or are some things left to chance? Philosophers and theologians have pondered these questions for millennia, but startling scientific discoveries over the past half century are revealing that we live in a world driven by chance. A Series of Fortunate Events tells the story of the awesome power of chance and how it is the surprising source of all the beauty and diversity in the living world. Drawing inspiration from Monty Python, Kurt Vonnegut, and other great thinkers, Sean Carroll provides an irresistibly entertaining and thought-provoking account of one of the most important but least appreciated facts of life.We publiceren alleen reviews die voldoen aan de voorwaarden voor reviews.
