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.
