Short History Of Nearly Everything, A (Bryson)

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

Haven't read the entire book yet, but judging by the introduction part and a quick overlook, and way of writing and explanation. It's good for beginners, because I'm a beginner in reading and it's drawing my attention and interesting good. And I'm a bit confused about everything going on around me and find out, this book can help me process everything with a single vision. So I bought this book, judging by the introduction part it seems promising, now let's see what it delivers.

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

Bill Bryson can make the most difficult concepts fun to read and easy to understand. That's what this book is. It's easy and fun to read and very informative, covering a range of topics from cosmology to chemistry to quantum physics. Recommended to anyone who wants to understand and learn about things in a humourous way.

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

Very good quality book 📖. Delivered in 2 days with Prime Membership.

The book was perfect, brand new.

Un libro que te entretendrá desde la primera página, ya que te cuenta con humor los principales hallazgos, hitos e inventos de la humanidad.

I have spent my life wondering about the natural world around me. In fact, I've made a career from these interests. I know a bit about the cosmos, and I'll have conversations over a beer about elementary quantum mechanics. I'll rant passionately about successional stages of forests and the importance of wilderness conservation. I understand time dilation and mycorrhizal relationships between plants, fungi, and animals and the indescribable and excruciating importance of the resiliency it produces on our planets. I feel like I can understand the wonder of accretion disk theory in the creation of our early solar system from the nebulae of our own incarnate sun's previous corpse. Sometimes I even think I can understand in a rudimentary way how a runaway chemical reaction could lead to life. To us. This book takes everything that you think you know about the universe, broadens the scope of this thought, and increases the breadth and depth of detail by such a factor as to be nearly overwhelming. I particularly enjoy the human aspect that Bill is able to infuse into his narrative. He absolutely enraptures the reader and makes one wonder how we even figured anything out at all. Time and time again, as discoveries were made, we see through Bill's detailed research that we are lucky indeed that history played out the way it did. He also raises the thought of what we may have lost along the way. In addition to Bill's historical narrative that he excels at, we are also fortunate that his unique prose serves as a perfect tool for breaking down complex ideas and explaining discoveries and natural science from everything we know (and think we know) into a nearly easily digestible narrative that keeps you hooked, page after page.
