A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson Full Audiobook
ne of the world’s most beloved writers and New York Times bestselling author of A Walk in the Woods and The Body takes his ultimate journey-into the most intriguing and intractable questions that science seeks to answer.
In A Walk in the Woods, Bill Bryson trekked the Appalachian Trail-well, most of it. In A Sunburned Country, he confronted some of the most lethal wildlife Australia has to offer. Now, in his biggest book, he confronts his greatest challenge: to understand-and, if possible, answer-the oldest, biggest questions we have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as territory everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being us. To that end, he has attached himself to a host of the world’s most advanced (and often obsessed) archaeologists, anthropologists, and mathematicians, travelling to their offices, laboratories, and field camps. He has read (or tried to read) their books, pestered them with questions, apprenticed himself to their powerful minds. A Short History of Nearly Everything is the record of this quest, and it is a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Bryson can render it. Science has never been more involving or entertaining.

    The narrator states that the universe started from "nothing", which is a nonsense claim. There never was a "nothing". The universe/cosmos has likely always existed, in one form or another. And since neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed, there could never have been "nothing".

    @8:18:00 this book (published in 2003) foresaw the Japan earthquake waiting to happen. Just 7 years later, it happened... A quick Google search revealed that Japan had a 9.0 magnitude earthquake that killed over 19,000. Rest in peace to those caught in that EQ.

    This is the wrong narrator for this. The guy on "The Mother Tongue" by Bill Bryson audio book fit Bryson MUCH more. This guy sounds like he should be narrating commercials on talk radio. I don't know if I can listen to 9 hours of this, and I love Bryson's writing.
