Description

The ultimate eye-opening journey through time and space, A Short History of Nearly Everything is the biggest-selling popular science book of the 21st century and has sold over 2 million copies. Possibly the best scientific primer ever published. Economist Truly impressive...It s hard to imagine a better rough guide to science. Guardian A travelogue of science, with a witty, engaging, and well-informed guide The Times Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller, but even when he stays safely at home he can t contain his curiosity about the world around him. A Short History of Nearly Everything is his quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us. Bill Bryson s challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry and particle physics, and see if there isn t some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. As a result, A Short History of Nearly Everything reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.
