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 Bryson's articulate and engaging writing. "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." 💥 🧬 🦠 🦕 🔬 🌍 ✨ NOTE: This is a relatively heavy book, nearly 4 pounds. If purchased as part of a larger bundle, I might have to split the order into 2 packages to reduce shipping charges. My average shipping time is less than 1 day, so multiple packages should still reach you quickly. 🙂
