A short history of nearly everything : [special illustrated edition]

Bryson, Bill. (Author).

Summary: In A Short Story 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 supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Brysons can render it.
