One of the world’s most beloved and bestselling writers takes his ultimate journey -- into the most intriguing and intractable questions that science seeks to answer.

In A Walk in the Woods , Bill Bryson trekked the Appalachian Trail -- well, most of it. In In A Sunburned Country , he confronted some of the most lethal wildlife Australia has to offer. Now, in his biggest book, he confronts his greatest challenge: to understand -- and, if possible, answer -- the oldest, biggest questions we have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as territory everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being us. To that end, he has attached himself to a host of the world’s most advanced (and often obsessed) archaeologists, anthropologists, and mathematicians, travelling to their offices, laboratories, and field camps. He has read (or tried to read) their books, pestered them with questions, apprenticed himself to their powerful minds. A Short History of Nearly Everything is the record of this quest, and it is a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Bryson can render it. Science has never been more involving or entertaining.

《万物简史》,我看完后一直觉得欠了笔账,应该写点什么才对的起作者,但苦于文笔拙劣,实在整理不出头绪来。今天看了大作标题,心中一阵兴奋,觉得可以搁笔了。看完后,又觉得还有意犹未尽之感,不避孤陋顺便发点意见。 我之喜欢该书,和小鱼同志相反,是看到作者本人的...

一 其实我们从小到大,一直都会讨论这个问题:我从哪里来?人类从哪里来?世界从哪里来?地球从哪里来?宇宙从哪里来? 这个认知的过程,是从小到大、由己及物的,向来以自己为中心,扩散出去,逐渐认识整个世界。 而《万物简史》这本书,是从大到小,从宇宙是什么说起,再...

当然这个无笑点是针对bill bryson其他的每一段落都让人笑到肚子疼的大作而言。如果用随便一本普通的科普读物作参照,你会觉得该书它不是科普是哲学的幽默(不要问什么是哲学的幽默,俺不知道!)。讲述分子质子基因光年化石的字里行间充满了对人类这个历史长河中渺小无知的沧海...
