The Universe Within: Discovering the Common History of Rocks, Planets, and People by Neil Shubin

2.0

Not nearly as good as his first book, Your Inner Fish. Here he tried to link humanity to the history of the entire universe. A noble goal, but he feels out of his element, and the information he gives on astronomy and geology are at best perfunctory and at worst wrong. I was hoping to use this for my general science non-majors class, but other than a few select passages, it's not as good as other things out there.
