Astronomer Matthew Hedman compiled his series of public lectures explaining recent advances in the physical sciences into a fascinating book. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the field of dating evidence from the past is broached from the big bang through to the evolution of numerous and various civilizations.

I couldn't make out the logic in the chapter about the stars, and contacted the author with no reply. He writes about lining up the stars with certain points on earth, but how do you know what time of night to look or what day to look?

The Age of Everything by Matthew HedmanThe Age of Everything by Matthew Hedman is an interesting accessible book about how scientists determine the age of everything from carved symbols found deep in the rain forests of Central America to the age of the Universe. Thanks to the knowledge of converging scientific endeavors such as history, archaeology, biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and astronomy, and a lot of ingenuity we are now able to determine with more precision the age of "everything".
