Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller: but even when he stays safely in his own study at home, he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him. A Short History of Nearly Everything is his quest to find out everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us. Bill Bryson's challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry and particle physics, and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. It's not so much about what we know, as about how we know what we know. How do we know what is in the centre of the Earth, or what a black hole is, or where the continents were 600 million years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out? On his travels through time and space, he encounters a splendid collection of astonishingly eccentric, competitive, obsessive and foolish scientists, like the painfully shy Henry Cavendish who worked out many conundrums like how much the Earth weighed, but never bothered to tell anybody about many of his findings. In the company of such extraordinary people, Bill Bryson takes us with him on the ultimate eye-opening journey, and reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

我一辈子也做不了科技工作者,因为喜读科普书籍远胜于读学术论文,这表明我虽有相信科学的愿望,却缺乏探索科学的勇气。 但是也没什么不好。科技这东西是双刃剑,不定什么时候就砍到自己了。 科普就不一样,它给人的是思想的启迪。也许更多的还是读故事的乐趣。小的时候喜欢...

第一次见到这本书,是两年前地铁站的门口,一堆盗版英文书之间,我一下子就被这个书名所吸引了,但后来不知怎的没有买它,也许当时并没有像现在一样能沉下心读600页书的心境吧。前几天在西单图书大厦地下一层又见到它,毫不犹豫地就买了下来,但断断续续用了很久才读完,大部分...

After reading the book, I know why Bill Bryson is called "English Master". He easily combines so many things into one book. Following his guidance, you travel from cosmos to human life without any abruptness. The transition from this scientist to that artis...

注:前评论者为http://www.douban.com/review/1015059/上发表观点的众多前辈们。 一、意译神译? 首先从译本的名字说起。“万物简史”是很精简的翻译,可以看出译者的文字功底。可它却远远不能够被称得上是准确的翻译,因为最重要的nearly就这么被轻描淡写的丢掉了。也许译...

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...

A funny, humble, informative read. I love how Bryson refers to famous scientists as if they were his pals or next door neighbours.
