William McGuire "Bill" Bryson, OBE, FRS was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. He settled in England in 1977, and worked in journalism until he became a full time writer. He lived for many years with his English wife and four children in North Yorkshire. He and his family then moved to New Hampshire in America for a few years, but they have now returned to live in the UK.
In The Lost Continent, Bill Bryson's hilarious first travel book, he chronicled a trip in his mother's Chevy around small town America. It was followed by Neither Here Nor There, an account of his first trip around Europe. Other travel books include the massive bestseller Notes From a Small Island, which won the 2003 World Book Day National Poll to find the book which best represented modern England, followed by A Walk in the Woods (in which Stephen Katz, his travel companion from Neither Here Nor There, made a welcome reappearance), Notes From a Big Country and Down Under.
Bill Bryson has also written several highly praised books on the English language, including Mother Tongue and Made in America. In his last book, he turned his attention to science. A Short History of Nearly Everything was lauded with critical acclaim, and became a huge bestseller. It was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize, before going on to win the Aventis Prize for Science Books and the Descartes Science Communication Prize. His next book, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, is a memoir of growing up in 1950s America, featuring another appearance from his old friend Stephen Katz. October 8 sees the publication of A Really Short History of Nearly Everything.

“Houses aren’t refuges from history. They are where history ends up.”
Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to “write a history of the world without leaving home.” The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has figured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the world, he demonstrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.

讀後感
一直以为历史，或者说，那些能以“史”的形式写出来的东西，都算得上是一门“学科”，无论文理都是分类细致条理分明，动物史、植物史、天文史、世界史。当然它们也可以写得不具体又不严肃，作为通俗读物，但总的来说，每一种“史”的内部都是井井有条的，那些知识、信息是按共...
評分看简介以为这是一本写那些瓶瓶罐罐的科普书，没想到是一个满宏大的科普书。从一个大房子的边边角角，从调料到花草，从医疗到殖民，絮絮叨叨幽默诙谐的写了蛮厚的一本。挺适合我这种，即想了解历史又看不来枯燥的大部头的普通读者，阅读有时候就是寻找一种乐趣，这本书可以说基...
評分好欢乐的书 第一章，从英国一所教区长寓所开始，讲述维多利时代时代的一些事，首届世博会，水晶宫，工业文明初期的盛景，美国的机器创新，散在各个圣公会教区收地租的神职人员悠闲富足的生活，许多人得有闲暇研究近代科学一不小心成了某个领域的开山祖师爷。还有人专心于吃，...
評分得到听书： 首先，我们跟着布莱森的脚步走到厨房，去探索厨房背后的史诗。由于早期人类没有掌握食物保鲜保存技术，食物腐烂迅速，厨房未必能烹饪出美食，而且关于食品掺假的说法众说纷纭。虽然有个叫弗雷德里克·图德的作家并不赞同那些食品掺假的各种说法，但食物难以长时间保...
評分冲着作者的名字买的，希望延续《万物简史》那种惊艳的感觉。这本书内容实际上很有意思，通过一套几个世纪前的旧式房子的各个房间引出不同的话题，涉及建筑史、建材史、奴役史、能源史、疾病史、性交史、育婴史等，让人大开眼界。但无法饶恕的还是那个问题，我都怀疑以后敢不敢...

他真有本事把好玩的事情寫得無聊
评分知識點密集哇，history of hygiene/sex/food/death/nutrition/spice trade...作為一個肥宅，很欣喜宅在傢裏也能有這麼厚重的曆史感
评分在非學院派筆下，博物史並無令人稱奇或博大之處，讀來隻覺人類（名義上的傢居）生活的進化迂緩得不可思議，瑣碎愚昧之處不可枚舉。這種有意不附麗任何價值的寫法個人並不討厭，如“詞源學”一般的考據癖也有些意思。
评分他真有本事把好玩的事情寫得無聊
评分Bill Bryson never fails to surprise me with his curiosity and humor. He definitely writes like a journalist, think like a journalist, of course, a very good journalist.
