Book Reviews of A Short History of Nearly Everything: Special Illustrated Edition

Book Review: Wow, that's interesting
Summary: 5 Stars

Got the original from the library and took it back after the second chapter. I had to buy my own copy. Then I found out there was an Illustrated Edition and it was well worth the extra money. There are some really dull parts just like a chemistry course so the illustrations carry you through to the more intrigueing parts. I read it about three times. You don't have to start at the beginning, it's all interesting.

Summary of A Short History of Nearly Everything: Special Illustrated Edition

This new edition of the acclaimed bestseller is lavishly illustrated to convey, in pictures as in words, Bill Bryson’s exciting, informative journey into the world of science.

In A Short History of Nearly Everything, beloved author Bill Bryson confronts his greatest challenge yet: to understand—and, if possible, answer—the oldest, biggest questions we have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as his 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. The result 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.

Now, in this handsome new edition, Bill Bryson’s words are supplemented by full-color artwork that explains in visual terms the concepts and wonder of science, at the same time giving face to the major players in the world of scientific study. Eloquently and entertainingly described, as well as richly illustrated, science has never been more involving or entertaining.
