"The Brighter Side of Civilisation and the Universe" is a historical, scientific and philosophical illustration of civilisation. The tiny paper, a collection of six essay, beautifully illustrates what aspects have sustained civilisation so far and what are the bright things that hold us together and brings us forward. Together the author brings the reader on a journey through the universe to unveil the secret of the beginnings of the universe, our own existence and role in the vast cosmos.
