Enter the world of science as Bill Bryson unmasks the mysteries of the universe.
Did you know that:
- Every atom in your body has almost certainly passed through several stars and been part of millions of organisms on its way to being you?
- If you are an average-sized kid, you have enough potential energy inside you to explode with the force of several hydrogen bombs?
And--What happened to dinosaurs? How big is the universe? Why are oceans salty? Is a meteor going to hit us? Tackling everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bill Bryson's inimitable storytelling skill makes the why, how, and, just as importantly, the who of scientific discovery entertaining and accessible for young readers.
A backpacking expedition in 1973 brought Des Moines native Bill Bryson to England, where he met his wife and decided to settle. He wrote travel articles for the English newspapers The Times and The Independent for many years before stumbling into bestsellerdom with 1989's The Lost Continent, a sidesplitting account of his rollicking road trip across small-town America. In 1995, he moved his family back to the States so his children could experience "being American." However, his deep-rooted Anglophilia won out and, in 2003, the Brysons returned to England.
One of those people who finds nearly everything interesting, Bryson has managed to turn his twin loves -- travel and language -- into a successful literary career. In a string of hilarious bestsellers, he has chronicled his misadventures across England, Europe, Australia, and the U.S., delighting readers with his wry observations and descriptions. Similarly, his books on the history of the English language, infused with the perfect combination of wit and erudition, have sold well. He has received several accolades and honors, including the coveted Aventis Prize for best general science book awarded for his blockbuster A Short History of Nearly Everything.
Beloved on both sides of the pond, Bryson makes few claims to write great literature. But he is a writer it is nearly impossible to dislike. We defy anyone to not smile at pithy, epigrammatic opening lines like these: "I come from Des Moines. Someone had to."

評分科學從未如此引人入勝,我們居住的世界也從未如此充滿驚奇和美妙。——《齣版商周刊》 我想自己對自然世界的好奇心是遠多於對這個社會和人世的,閱讀此書的過程,讓我重新迴到瞭中學理科時代的愉悅,恍然間,離開理科生的世界已有10年。 此書是自然科學的簡史,天文、地理、生物、化學融會貫通,2007年的譯版閱讀起來也非常流暢,總之,這是一本閱讀體驗和知識性俱佳的作品。
