Review by  SamMorris(3323) on 23/08/2004

In this book travel writer, Bill Bryson, rarely gets any further than his nearest library. Nonetheless, he invites you to accompany him on a whistle-stop tour of discovery, encompassing the sum of scientific discovery to date. In a book spanning just 550 pages, this is perhaps his most ambitious journey to date.

Even if, at times, this book feels like drinking several strong espressos and sprinting round the Science Museum, it is a truly impressive feat of everyman science writing. If you’ve ever fancied wondering at the improbable madness that is the known universe, then this comes highly recommended.
