'With marvellous clarity, compassion, erudition, humour and open-mindedness, Potter blasts us through the vast vacuum of space' Daily Telegraph You Are Here is a dazzling exploration of the universe and our relationship to it. It is the story of how something evolved from nothing, and how something became everything. It is the story of science: the greatest story ever told. Here, for the first time in a single span, is the life of the universe, from quarks to galaxy super-clusters, and from slime to Homo sapiens . With wit and erudition, Christopher Potter takes us on a voyage beyond even time and space, to present the state of scientific knowledge at its most up-to-date and exhilarating. 'Potter's crisp, authoritative writing and his deft handling of difficult subjects makes this a book worth reading' New Scientist 'I read it in an evening, with a sense of increasing excitement, and then vertigo, and finally a sort of stunned awe. Potter has written a wonderful account of the universe we live in. I relished every page' William Leith, Evening Standard.
