One of the world’s most beloved writers and bestselling author of One Summer takes his ultimate journey—into the most intriguing and intractable questions that science seeks to answer.
In A Walk in the Woods, Bill Bryson trekked the Appalachian Trail—well, most of it. In A Sunburned Country,
he confronted some of the most lethal wildlife Australia has to offer.
Now, in his biggest book, he confronts his greatest challenge: to
understand—and, if possible, answer—the oldest, biggest questions we
have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as territory
everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks
to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being
us. To that end, he has attached himself to a host of the world’s most
advanced (and often obsessed) archaeologists, anthropologists, and
mathematicians, travelling to their offices, laboratories, and field
camps. He has read (or tried to read) their books, pestered them with
questions, apprenticed himself to their powerful minds. A Short History of Nearly Everything is
the record of this quest, and it is a sometimes profound, sometimes
funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the
realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Bryson can render it. Science
has never been more involving or entertaining.
