Featuring a special introduction written for the audiobook edition and read by the author

A Radio 4 Book Club Selection.

The ultimate eye-opening journey through time and space, A Short History of Nearly Everything is the biggest-selling popular science book of the 21st century and has sold over 2 million copies.

Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller, but even when he stays safely at home he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him. A Short History of Nearly Everything is his quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us.

Bill Bryson's challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry and particle physics, and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. As a result, A Short History of Nearly Everything reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

'Possibly the best scientific primer ever published.' Economist

'Truly impressive...It's hard to imagine a better rough guide to science.' Guardian

'A travelogue of science, with a witty, engaging, and well-informed guide' The Times

So many facts and concepts all stung together in one magnificent story. I hung on every word from the first to the last. I would recommend this book to anyone I know.

Eye opening!

A reliable effort from Bill Bryson. He reads his own work with a gentle, authoritative tone that is easy to follow. Some may find the work unnerving but it puts our place in the cosmos into perspective and at once makes the listener proud and humble to be a small part of the history of nearly everything.

Thought Provoking

Incredible!

Disliked the chapters did not have title’s. Only says Chapter 1. after reading obviously I know what the chapter is about, prefer the titles to show the chapter and what it’s about. Don’t have to read this book page by page can just pick a chapter if you knew what they were about.

Simply put!

Great book! I enjoy listening to it, which I have done multiple times! Every time I do I hear new information I miss from the previous times. The narrator is funny, and jokes around in between information.

Awesome

I've read the book and listened to the audiobook now. There's so much information to ingest and all presented in such an approachable easy way. I'm sure I'll revisit it again in another year or two.

Love it

Good stud the horse, good cocktail the hen, good bull the cow, good so it goes the woman is still enduring stress while giving birth? How can we use our medical intellect to lessen the fatality rate; What stood out for me was human beings have not lived a long lifetime, and likelihood that it is over for us is greater as the author alluded too the finality of existence, that it will require more than just luck.

Homo Sapiens is intelligent?

I didn't have a good experience with Bill Bryson narrating the book, the way the author speak is a little bit hard to understand.
but, the book is a rich content and really covers important topics.

I'm considering buy the kindle book, so I can get more of it.

If you have good headphones, and a quiet place... go for it

I read this book years ago. It was just as good listening to it. I can't recommend it higher than I do.

As good as it gets
