Publisher's Summary
A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson’s quest to find out 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. His challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science.
It's not so much about what we know, as about how we know what we know. How do we know what is in the centre of the Earth, or what a black hole is, or where the continents were 600 million years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out?
On his travels through time and space, Bill Bryson takes us with him on the ultimate eye-opening journey and reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

Amazing
Must read only because of the breadth of the narrative. Loved reading the book. Bill stiches together history , science and philosophy in a nice narrative.

Excellent narration of a great book
I could listen to this book with the same ease with which a give ear to an engaging conversation. Each chapter dedicated to a field of human endeavour, and is read in an interesting way. Students at the fork of their career paths must experience this once, as you can clearly see what interests one and what doesnt.
