A Short History of Nearly Everything, by Bill Bryson


So, you didn’t pay attention in science class, eh? Or maybe you thought it was all over your head? Bryson to the rescue. He not only explains, he entertains.

Astronomy? Breathtaking. What’s at the Earth’s core? Wild. The mystery of life’s evolution? Fascinating. And all explained as if the coolest science teacher ever was describing it over a beer.

No need to read it all at once; keep it beside your bed, knock out a chapter a week. Listen, the book makes you feel smarter when you’ve finished. Can you say the same for the last book you read?
