Theoretical physicist, best-selling author and Star Trek writer Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a spin through the history of science and human progress—from the invention of stone tools to theories of quantum physics. It's going to be epic!

Here's what Stephen Hawking has to say about this: "Mlodinow never fails to make science both accessible and entertaining."

Leonard Mlodinow's previous books include Subliminal (winner of the PEN/E.O. Wilson Award), The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives, War of the Worldviews (with Deepak Chopra) and Feynman's Rainbow. (Did we mention that he wrote for MacGyver and Star Trek: The Next Generation?) Dr. Mlodinow received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the UC Berkeley, was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Max Planck Institute, and was on the faculty of the California Institute of Technology. His latest book is The Upright Thinkers: The Human Journey from Living in Trees to Understanding the Cosmos.
