Book Reviews of A Short History of Nearly Everything

Book Review: "Short History..." the Best Science Update
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a practising scientist working in many fields. I need to have a broad vision of both "what's new" and "what's old".

I have just finished reading "Short History..." for the third time, this including the new illustrated edition.

I've given copies to all my children and most of them have read or are reading it. Also grandchildren will probably read at the right time....

A fun and comprhensive book...
