In \u003ci\u003eA Sunburned Country\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Short History of Nearly Everything\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365581095167,"sku":"9780767908184","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780767908184_s600x595.jpg?v=1777308801","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780767908184","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
