Average Rating: Rating: - Bryson Explains It All For You And Isn't That Fabulous? I have to admit I ordered the CD blindly--not quite sure what Bill Byrson was going to get up to, and I was pleasantly surprised that the history of science was the agenda. I enjoy science history books and the light-hearted travelogues of Bill's, so this was perfect for me. Bill's other books have a more rambling tone to them and I was very impressed with his logical organization of this vast material. Entertaining and informative as well as an inspiration for further reading (and listening)--thanks, Bill! Rating: - Bryson at his best! I love Bill Bryson and have enjoyed all of his travel books, especially I'm a Stranger Here Myself and Notes From a Small Island. It surprised me that he had written a book like this but, true to form, he has produced an excellent, well-written, incisive and funny look at the scientific world. This is the kind of book that would make someone who hates science or is indifferent (like me) to actually develop an interest in the subject. Now that's great writing! Too bad textbook writers can't write like this! Excellent book,highly recommended. Rating: - Bill Bryson Hits The Target Bill Bryson's "Short History" was aimed at people like me, I believe; a humanities major who found the sciences an alien universe, incomprehensible to those who hadn't mastered its formulas and jargon. His three years of reading, research and interviewing has resulted in an accessible, educational, entertaining book that tries to answer some of the most fundamental questions, such as where did the universe come from? and what makes humans human? Bryson was interested not only in what the answers to the questions are, but how we found those answers, and who the people were who unlocked these mysteries. I suspect that those who are well versed in the sciences might find this a bit superficial (after all, the entire story of the universe is a lot to pack into less than 500 pages), but if you're looking to fill in some gaps in your knowledge of our world, this book is for you. Take the journey with Bryson; you'll enjoy the trip.
