A SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING

ich habe es durchgelesen!!! nach einem Jahr! und es war super, dank deutscher Übersetzung auch fast alles verstanden :-)

Bill Bryson has a very pleasant style. Though the topics are very different and often komplex, 'A short history of nearly everything' was easy to understand. I loved how facts were combined with anecdotes of the time and how everything was connected in a bigger context. A really charming way to learn and somehow a little testament of how sciences evolved as expert fields as well. I enjoyed the "second red thread", which not only followed science concerning its contents and big discoveries but also how they themselves emerged over time. I was entertained, touched and awed. Definitely a recommendation for science-interested readers of non-fiction!
