A Most Improbable Journey: A Big History of Our Planet and Ourselves by Walter Alvarez is available at Global Books.

A Most Improbable Journey: A Big History of Our Planet and Ourselves is a sweeping scientific narrative by the geologist famous for discovering the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs. Alvarez expands the "Big History" framework by showing how cosmic, geologic, and evolutionary events—occurring over billions of years—aligned perfectly to make human life possible.

The book moves from the Big Bang and the formation of the Earth's crust to the development of the human brain and the dawn of civilisation. Using a science-first approach, Alvarez highlights the staggering odds against our existence, illustrating how everything from the shifting of tectonic plates to the chemical composition of the atmosphere has played a critical role in our "most improbable" journey.
