"A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson

[readingz]

First read: 25.08.10

The anecdotes were interesting but the lenghty explanations about, say, physics, didn't manage to be interesting in themseves or transparent enough to be memorable.

Quotes:

That remained to me the greatest of all mysteries, how scientists worked things out... How can scientists be able to describe nearly everything but be unable to predict an earthquake or tell us if we should take an umbrella.
