Description

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.

Έγραψαν για το Βιβλίο

Ο κύριος Bryson έχει το φυσικό χάρισμα της ξεκάθαρης και γλαφυρής έκφρασης. Αμφιβάλλω ότι έχει γραφτεί καλύτερο βιβλίο για τις ανακαλύψεις της σύγχρονης επιστήμης που να απευθύνεται στον μέσο άνθρωπο.
Sunday Telegraph

Μια συναρπαστική ιδέα και δεν μπορώ να σκεφτώ κάποιον άλλο συγγραφέα, εκτός του Bryson που θα την εκτελούσε τόσο καλά. Είναι το είδος του βιβλίου που θα είχα καταβροχθίσει στην εφηβική μου ηλικία. Μπορεί κάλλιστα να κάνει τους νεαρούς αναγνώστες επιστήμονες. Και το διάσημο, ελαφρώς κυνικό χιούμορ του είναι πάντα παρόν.
Evening Standard

Ένα οδοιπορικό στα μονοπάτια της επιστήμης, από έναν ευφυή οδηγό που απολαμβάνει να το μοιράζεται μαζί μας.
Peter Atkins, Τhe Times

    Very interesting book with very detailed descriptions but also interesting, not so well-known events. I highly recommend it to everyone. The only minor problem with the book was that it became tiresome in some parts

  • Although large in volume of information, the book is excellent with the author conveying almost everything to you in a pleasant manner.. in a wide range of knowledge.
