A short story about everything (almost)

Author: Bill Bryson

In this classic work of popular science, Bill Bryson accomplishes the seemingly impossible: to help us understand the world by presenting modern theories of science in the most accessible and fun way. With plenty of humor but also remarkable clarity, he takes us on a fascinating journey from the birth and evolution of the universe to the creation of civilization and the latest discoveries. And since, thanks to similes, historical and personal references, it enlightens us even on difficult subjects of astronomy, physics, chemistry and other sciences, it does not stop reminding us that, despite the rapid scientific development, there are many questions. that remain unanswered.
