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.

周一处说,这本书很烂,因为作者想面面俱到,结果面面不到。 我说,老天,这就是一本科普读物,不是专著。更何况文笔幽默老辣,更利害的是,还有好多八卦。 你不爱,我爱。

这辈子只读完过两本正式点儿的科普读物,好像女孩子看这类的书很有些障碍。第一本是初中的时候看的《物理五千年》,第二本就是《万物简史》。相比之下五千年的物理发展介绍,只是让我高中物理课比较好过而已,而大爆炸以来的地球是怎样舞蹈的,却是更令人兴奋。 不排除8g的劣...

生命是个奇迹,这或许不需要看过布莱森的《万物简史》才知道,构成每个人身体的原子,有可能有重叠的来源,不论是男女,不论是白人黑人,不论是亲戚,不论是敌人。从这一点上来说,生命真的是非常平等,平等得所有的构成都是几乎一模一样。从原子的角度来说,生不带来死不带走...

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