Book Reviews of A Short History of Nearly Everything
Book Review: Back to School!
Summary: 5 Stars
I know nothing about science, and this book seems to have been written for me! It explains about biology, geology, cosmology, chemistry, physics, etc, in an entertaining and clear way. Bryson explains not just what we know, but how we know things, and his tales about scientists from long ago are just as interesting as their discoveries. It only took me four days to read. I recommend this thoroughly for any non-scientist.
