Description

A Short History of Nearly Everything

In A Short History of Nearly Everything, Bill Bryson takes listeners on a captivating exploration of the biggest questions ever asked: How did the universe begin? What makes up the atoms that build our world? How did life evolve from single-celled organisms to complex beings like us? With his trademark humor and clarity, Bryson dives into disciplines like astronomy, geology, biology, physics, and chemistry, translating often complex ideas into understandable—and often hilarious—narratives. Along the way, he introduces the eccentric and brilliant scientists whose discoveries shaped our understanding of the universe, many of whom lived lives as chaotic and unexpected as the theories they proposed. Narrator Richard Matthews delivers the audiobook with warmth and wit, perfectly matching the tone of Bryson’s writing. Whether explaining the bizarre behavior of subatomic particles or the mysterious extinction of species, this audiobook transforms overwhelming science into a delightful listening experience. It’s a celebration of curiosity and discovery, making science accessible to anyone who has ever wondered how nearly everything came to be.
