Publisher's Synopsis

"You Are Here is not just physics for poets, but as close to poetry or music as science is ever likely to get. Christopher Potter's narrative is as imaginative, ingenious, and elegantly concise as it is user-friendly." -- Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind

"A personal, brilliant, and often amusing account . . . . An idiosyncratic, encyclopedic blitzkrieg of a book." --The Boston Globe

"The Verdict: Read." -- Time

Christopher Potter's You Are Here is a lively and accessible biography of the universe--how it fits together and how we fit into it--in the style of science writers like Richard Dawkins, Bill Bryson, and Richard Feynman, as seen through the lens of today's most cutting-edge scientific thinking.
