Mr. Bryson has the natural gift of clear and vivid expression. I doubt that a better book has ever been written about the discoveries of modern science for the general reader.
Sunday Telegraph
A fascinating idea, and I can’t think of any other writer besides Bryson who could execute it so well. It is the kind of book I would have devoured in my teenage years. It may well make young readers into scientists. And his famous, slightly cynical humor is always present.

A journey along the paths of science, led by a brilliant guide who enjoys sharing it with us.
Peter Atkins, Τhe Times
In this classic work of popular science, Bill Bryson accomplishes the seemingly impossible: helping us understand the world by presenting modern scientific theories in the most accessible and entertaining way.
With plenty of humor and remarkable clarity, he takes us on an exciting journey from the birth and evolution of the universe to the creation of civilization and the latest discoveries.
And as he illuminates even the most difficult topics in astronomy, physics, chemistry, and other natural sciences through analogies, historical, and personal references, he continually reminds us that, despite rapid scientific progress, many questions remain unanswered.
