An introduction to a new way of looking at history, from a perspective that stretches from the beginning of time to the present day, Maps of Time is world history on an unprecedented scale. Beginning with the Big Bang, David Christian views the interaction of the natural world with the more recent arrivals in flora and fauna, including human beings. Cosmology, geology, archeology, and population and environmental studies--all figure in David Christian''s account, which is an ambitious overview of the emerging field of "Big History." Maps of Time opens with the origins of the universe, the stars and the galaxies, the sun and the solar system, including the earth, and conducts readers through the evolution of the planet before human habitation. It surveys the development of human society from the Paleolithic era through the transition to agriculture, the emergence of cities and states, and the birth of the modern, industrial period right up to intimations of possible futures. Sweeping in scope, finely focused in its minute detail, this riveting account of the known world, from the inception of space-time to the prospects of global warming, lays the groundwork for world history--and Big History--true as never before to its name.

Naturak bere hizkuntza propioa du, bere poetika. Pello Zabalaren asmoa da izadiaren gramatikan sartzea, behatzearen poderioz, harekin bat egitearen amorez, ulertzen saiatzea. Oharpen horiek egunen gurpilean idatziz osatua da liburua. 2006ko urrian hasi eta 2008ko martxoan buka egin zuen lehen liburua. Honako hau du bigarrena, aurrekoa utzi zuen lekuan hasia. Liburuak egunerokoaren forma hartu du. Izadian gertatzen ari dena apuntatuz doa Zabala, eta horrek barruan sortzen diona hausnartuz idatzi ditu eguneroko piezak. Batzuetan, oroitzapenak ekarriko ditu gogora—amama Sebastiana edo Arantzazun fraide sartu zen mutiko elebakar hura—; besteetan, saien dantza edo katu baten ibilera deskribatuta, plazer estetikoa gozaraziko digu; inoiz, gai sozialen bat aipatuta, zer pentsa utziko gaitu… Eta dena, Pello Zabalari berezkoa zaion prosa poetikoarekin.
