## Description

A Short History of Nearly Everything : Bryson, Bill: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Very readable and comprehensive - 574 Pages thick but the book is so interesting that it will grip u in the first chapter itself if u have the slightest interest in science or humans or history. Covers Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Biology, Anthropology, Astronomy and a lot more sciences and their evolution over the last 300-400 years. We know a lot yet we hardly know anything as yet. The most humbling thing is if Nature wants the human species can be at the brink of extinction in around 2 hours flat. Just the yellowstone volcano has to blow out with full power. 😄 The book is recommended to develop gratitude for our current existence and good fortune and truely does a good job at that. Humans are the nature’s best creation as yet and also the most irresponsible. We have a responsibility that remains largely ignored.
