Story
Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

Genuinely "Everything"
Reviewed: 10-20-11
This book takes you for a tour through every pure science that you ever read about: Bill Bryson weaves hundreds of what seem to be disparate facts into one coherent story. He gives you perspective on how much we actually know about the world we live in, yet how insignificant this knowledge is in the grand scheme of things. Richard Matthews' narration takes the book to the whole new level as he talks about everything from astronomy to oceanography to the origins of leaded petrol.
Must listen. "Un-put-down-able".
