The instant New York Times bestseller about humanity's place in the universe--and how we understand it.

"Vivid...impressive....Splendidly informative."--The New York Times
"Succeeds spectacularly."--Science
"
A tour de force."--Salon

Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on Higgs bosons and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions: Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void? Do human purpose and meaning fit into a scientific worldview?

In short chapters filled with intriguing historical anecdotes, personal asides, and rigorous exposition, readers learn the difference between how the world works at the quantum level, the cosmic level, and the human level--and then how each connects to the other. Carroll's presentation of the principles that have guided the scientific revolution from Darwin and Einstein to the origins of life, consciousness, and the universe is dazzlingly unique.

Carroll shows how an avalanche of discoveries in the past few hundred years has changed our world and what really matters to us. Our lives are dwarfed like never before by the immensity of space and time, but they are redeemed by our capacity to comprehend it and give it meaning.

The Big Picture is an unprecedented scientific worldview, a tour de force that will sit on shelves alongside the works of Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Daniel Dennett, and E. O. Wilson for years to come.

These are very cheaply made and barely stay on. The clasp to keep the diapers closed breaks half of the time when I'm trying to put a fresh diaper on. Won't be buying these again.

Works Well
These diapers fit well right now, but like any diaper, we will be watching the weight of the baby and move up a size as the weight limit gets close, as that affects the amount of leakage that can occur. They are thin and easy to fit in a small diaper bag that goes anywhere, yet they are also absorbent. The designs are cute, and I like that it has a wetness indicator on the outside. They are absorbent for a few hours, but I wouldn't trust them for more than 4 hours because they are thin; however, that's the negative of any thinner diaper on the market, at least that's what I've found. The baby doesn't suffer from any irritation on his sensitive skin, which is also a big plus and is a necessity, as far as I'm concerned.

I've used babyganics for two children and will never buy again
I've used babyganics diapers for years and have always loved them. They used to be soft, incredibly absorbent and with a minimalist design that didn't show through light colored baby clothes. They were the diapers I recommended to everyone as a cloth diaper alternative and I was willing to pay the extra $ for them. What happened?!?! These have a brightly colored yet faded appearing design on them, they are rough and they constantly leak (like EVERY time). They are also small! I sized up one as I always used to do with babyganics but these size 2 diapers for 12-18 lb babies barely fit my 10 lb baby. I switched to Millie Moon diapers and find them a million times better. They're everything babyganics used to be.

Natural and Soft
Fun colorful patterns that are great for boys and girls and are soft to the touch. They are thin when dry which is great, but they still hold a lot. They have worked great well overnight with zero leaks and the baby stays dry. Fit is snug but not too tight and they move well with baby! Overall very happy with the "Babyganics, Absorbent, Breathable, Triple Dry Protection Diapers".

Still pretty good
We had their “old version” - different pattern and also apparently a different material? Because these don’t seem as good quality. But they are still more absorbent than most
