A Short History of Nearly Everything

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.

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.

The book came in really good condition,the book was decent but must read for science lovers

Loved the book. Very informative. Explains everything in a simple manner.

Over the years, I’ve read books written by Mr. Bryson; his books are well researched and incorporates fusion of modern and traditional writing.

To be honest, I was just concerned about the authenticity of this book and I have to say this one seems original. The letter printing is crisp and sharp and the size of the book matches the dimensions described. To nitpick, I would just say that the packaging was not that great - I mean there was no bubble wrap; it was just delivered as it is. Hopefully, there was no damage, but they could've done a better job. Yet to read it, will review once I'm done

This is a fantastic book that covers a huge amount of information. It's presented interestingly and engagingly, making it accessible to a wide range of readers.

Cuando cayó este libro en mis mano no pude dejar de leer casi ni para comer. Engancha y cuenta de un modo muy didáctico y pedestre multitud de aspectos que son esenciales para comprender este mundo.

About 18 years ago, a colleague of mine recommend this lovely book by Bill Bryson. It was a pleasure to read and, over the years, I bought several copies of it as gift to friends and family. Although it doesn’t cover many topics (or people!), it remains a fantastic overview of science.

As usual, Bill Bryson has written an entertaining, humorous book. Penguin is a reliable publisher and the book is well-printed and of good quality. If you like Bill Bryson, go ahead and buy.

The book was perfect, brand new.
