Uma leitura longa e surpreende, com várias curiosidades valiosas
Increíble forma de leer sobre historia. El autor tiene un estilo demasiado cómodo para presentarle a los lectores conceptos técnicos que de ninguna otra manera serían fáciles de asimilar. Fue el primero que leí de ese autor y ya compré dos más.
Lufada de ar fresco na história da Humanidade.
Um livro que percorre três grandes revoluções (cognitiva, agrícola e científica) e que nos faz pensar sobre o quanto a nossa felicidade depende de coisas imaginadas. Uma leitura que suscita muitas dúvidas quanto ao verdadeiro propósito de cada um neste planeta...
Li e adorei! Sobre a história do universo. Fácil de ler e entender. Viciante
