Woodsy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Does anyone know any books or any other information about our part in the universe? I've been seeing some comments on the internet about how we as humans are a part of the universe that sounds interesting. I thought maybe someone here may know more. Thanks!

Llwellyn Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I liked Richard Dawkins "The Greatest Show on Earth" which focuses on evolution. I also like John Dewey, "Human Nature and Conduct" which is a theory of human culture, instinct and creativity. Larry Arnhart is more absolutist approach to human ethics, but also good in "Darwinian Natural Right." As a coffee table book, I like "The Illustrated Atlas of the Universe" by Mark Garlick.

Ellinas Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I know Brian Cox recently presented a series called "The Human Universe" and there is a book that has been brought out with the same title. I did not see the one and have not read the other so this is not a recommendation, however. A review, for what it is worth (and upon the fairness of which I cannot comment) is here: http://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2014/oct/14/brian-coxs-human-universe-presents-a-fatally-flawed-view-of-evolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsy Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks, Ellinas. I am trying an e-book sample of the book. The reviews on Amazon were pretty good. Let's see if my old brain can wrap around it. Hee, hee!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
