The Origin (Almost) of Everything is an instructive and vivid book by the editor of New Scientist, Graham Lawton. The foreword was written by Stephen Hawking. Each story is accompanied by magnificent infographics. It really tells about the origin of... almost everything in our universe, planet, life, civilization, knowledge, and many inventions that have firmly entered modern life (toilet paper, keyboard, internet). The author not only wildly broadens the reader's horizons but also keeps them engaged for a second. Did you know, for example, that one chemist spent three years seriously researching the question of where the fluff in the belly button comes from?
