About This Book
Since its publication in 2003, Bill Bryson’s Almost Everything in History has enjoyed unwavering support and love from countless readers around the world, and now returns after 20 years with a completely refreshed edition that fully incorporates the latest scientific findings. Since its first edition, this book has firmly established itself as an introductory guide to popular science. By compiling and reflecting the research achievements that have emerged at the forefront of science, it once again presents the fun and appeal of science to all readers of the new generation.
"A Short History of Nearly Everything is a quest, the intellectual odyssey of a lifetime, as this curious writer attempts to understand everything that has transpired from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization." To that end, Bill Bryson apprenticed himself to a host of the world's most profound scientific minds, living and dead.
His challenge is to take subjects like geology, chemistry, paleontology, astronomy, and particle physics and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people, like himself, made bored (or scared) stiff of science by school. His interest is not simply to discover what we know but to find out how we know it.
