A Short History of Nearly Everything: Special Illustrated Edition

I have already read the unillustrated paperback version, but being a thickkie I wanted the pictures to help get my head around some of the deeper stuff. A great book for anyone with an iota of curiosity about the world around us. Bill manages to keep an almost child-like innocence to the questions he asks while at the same time not being patronizing with the answers. Very down to earth. Should be on every secondary school curriculum.

Really like book but disappointed to say it was not in great condition on arrival. Lots of scuffs / scratches, so will be returned.

Outstanding book that I’ve read a dozen times. Can’t recommend enough. Packed with so many tidbits I continue to learn everyone I read it.

A critical look at science making and human behavior. Comprehensive but enjoyable to read as it is sometimes a bit ironic and humorous, but never misses the point. Recommended to anyone interested in the history of science.

This is a truly amazing book which provides a very simple and very funny look at many different areas of Science

Must have book for all science readers

Bill Bryson aborda temas importantes que não estão presentes no nosso cotidiano mas que afetaram e afetarão a evolução do nosso planeta, universo e tudo que está contido nele. Assuntos complexos são cobertos de forma ligeira e de agradável leitura. Recomendo este livro para quem já esta farto de ler ficção que não traz nada de útil durante e após a leitura.
