A Short History of Nearly Everything by American-British author Bill Bryson is a popular science book that explains some areas of science, using easily accessible language that appeals more to the general public than many other books dedicated to the subject. It was one of the bestselling popular science books of 2005 in the United Kingdom, selling over 300,000 copies.A Short History deviates from Bryson's popular travel book genre, instead describing general sciences such as chemistry, paleontology, astronomy, and particle physics. In it, he explores time from the Big Bang to the discovery of quantum mechanics, via evolution and geology.

Como libro del 2003 aguanta bastante bien, aunque ya haya cosas que se hayan aclarado o complicado más. En las materias duras se ha hecho bastante espeso y lo de embellecer las descripciones físicas de científicos vivos en la actualidad me ha chirriado un poco. Pierde puntos extra por decir "en la actual Israel". Bitch, please.

Wow what a delightful book this is. There was almost nothing here I didn't already know, more or less. But it was all presented in such a well integrated and beautiful way that it was a joy to read. I’m a big Bryson fan and this has been on my list a long time. I’m so glad I finally got to it.
