Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The remarkable saga of Life from the Big Bang to the twenty-first century, from matter and energy, the first molecules, to the birth of stars, our solar system, then Earth itself and life.What follows if the story of the evolution of our species, from bacteria to man and today's genetically modified organisms, through invertebrates, primitive sharks, dinosaurs, mammoths, the great apes and our closest ancestors: the Australopithecus.An opera of matter where man recognizes his own miniscule part and is able to gain perspective on today's problems, so insignificant with respect to the universe. Earth has already survived several great extinctions. Are we on the verge of anotherone?This is the novel of existence and possibility, of chance and necessity, where the curious mind, the philosopher, the humanitarian, the historian and the ecologist can find knowledge of the most generous kind.While attempting to answer the three most essential questions of philosophy and science: What is the origin of the universe? Of life? Of man? Yves Paccalet sketches an answer to the other most pressing question of our time: What does the future hold in store?Yves Paccalet is a specialist in zoology and botany. He worked with Jacques Cousteau and has published several superb books such as La Terre et la Vie (Larousse). Le Bonheur en marchant (JC Lattès 2000) and Soigner l'Homme, soigner la Terre (JCLattès, 2003).
