  Tells the story of humanity's attempts through 4,000 years of written history to make sense of the world in its cosmic totality, to understand its physical nature, and to know its real and imagined inhabitants. This book is about the 'grand contraption' we've constructed through the ages in an effort to understand and identify with the universe.
