A Short History of Nearly Everything
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. 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 reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.
