'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. Review: A fun and easy way to understand science - This book explains complex scientific concepts in a very simple and interesting way. The author uses storytelling and humor, which makes it easy to stay engaged while learning about topics like space, Earth, and discoveries. It doesn’t feel like a boring textbook at all. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand science without getting confused. Review: Very readable and comprehensive - 574 Pages thick but the book is so interesting that it will grip u in the first chapter itself if u have the slightest interest in science or humans or history. Covers Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Biology, Anthropology, Astronomy and a lot more sciences and their evolution over the last 300-400 years. We know a lot yet we hardly know anything as yet. The most humbling thing is if Nature wants the human species can be at the brink of extinction in around 2 hours flat. Just the yellowstone volcano has to blow out with full power. 😄 The book is recommended to develop gratitude for our current existence and good fortune and truely does a good job at that. Humans are the nature’s best creation as yet and also the most irresponsible. We have a responsibility that remains largely ignored. ## Features - Book - a short history of nearly everything (re-issue) (bryson) - Language: english - This product will be an excellent pick for you ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,251 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Earth Sciences Textbooks #2 in Chemistry Textbooks #3 in Chemistry Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 18,478 Reviews | ## Images ![A Short History of Nearly Everything - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IFXnlXNKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fun and easy way to understand science *by P***R on 21 April 2026* This book explains complex scientific concepts in a very simple and interesting way.
