Book: A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

Paperback, Special Illustrated Edition, 624 pages. 8" x 10" and 1.25" thick. Bought new, still nearly new. Minor cosmetic scuffs to the cover from having been shelved. Jam-packed with photos, diagrams, illustrations, and of course Bryson's articulate and engaging writing. Perfect coffee-table book. ➡️ NOTE: This is a 3-pound 13-oz tome, so due to Poshmark's weight restrictions it unfortunately cannot be bundled with more than a couple of other items. We can also split a large order into two packages to work around this. 🙂 "An exciting and informative journey into the world of science, this is a highly readable mix of astonishing facts, historical anecdotes, adept summary, and gleeful recounts of the eccentricities of great scientists. From the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from a state of no universe at all--to the reality of being us, here, now. A profound book, funny, clear, and entertaining. An adventure through the realms of human knowledge--into the most intriguing and intractable questions that science seeks to answer."
