              A great read for those who aren't already overly well read in the sciences.

              I have been reading this book for years. I'm not the only science lover who has trouble retaining this book. l would suggest taking out quite time to get into it. Bryson is great and the style is wonderful but the science can only be dumbed down so much which still makes this a tough read for many people. I will read this book cover to cover beforei I die.

              It's taking me much longer to get through it this time around
            • Hot!
              I think I need to be much more alert before trying to read this book. Tomorrow perhaps, tho it is very enjoyable, nothing is being retained.

              Awesome book. Lots of interesting history, I pick this up every once in a while to reread random sections.

              Ik was al een fan van zijn reis- en taalboeken...nu over (bijna) alles

              I wouldn't call this a 'short' history exactly...

              Bed time reading

              A capa em português é muito mais fofa!

              Already liking this better than the last one (by the same author).
            • Hot!
              Extremely complicated science boiled down to pretty darn complicated science for the layperson.
            • Hot!
              rereading this: need some new books...
            • Hot!
              A good book but a little heavy on the Cosmology side.. It should double as an excellent sleep aid. ;)

              Again, actually I am listening to it again.

              Every page seems to bring something else that scares the s**t out of me.

              This book is extremely gripping and informative. Probably one of the best books I've read.
            • Hot!
              Great read! A sadly rare mix of humor, science, and history that entertains and informs. Wish my teachers had read this!
            • Hot!
              Even we he tries to break down the science, it's still over my head and I have to reread. LOL
            • Hot!
              I consider this book more an introduction than the final word. Bryson makes plenty of suggestions for further reading, and I believe that is the true wisdom of this book.
            • Hot!
              Finished. I liked it.
            • Hot!
              Loving this pg 336 "...if not told to live... ...cells automatically kill themselves. Cells need a lot or reassurance" lol ;-D
            • Hot!
              Really enjoying it so far. Excited to get to the physics parts!
            • Hot!
              I read this @ my hammock on the living room with a cold wind in my face.
