A SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING: Bill Bryson: Broadway: 2004: Nonfiction: 560 pagesAs the title suggests this book by noted humorist and travel writer Bill Bryson covers a little bit of everything. From evolution to physics to the beginning of the universe; you name it, he covers it. I was daunted by the prospect of reading this large book. Fortunately I was delighted to find that like with all of his other books, this one was indeed interesting and enjoyable. Not an easy task for a science book! I actually came away wanting to know a bit more about some of the subjects. Bryson did an admirable job of introducing the many scientists that we have heard of as well as the theories, laws, and discoveries that we all learned about in school. I found this to be a very readable book that will leave you feeling a little smarter than when you started.
